SPA Technique - 4.0 Ltr. AFFF-AR, Steel Mechanical FIA 2018 Fire Suppression System

FIRESENSE - AFFF Foam Systems

SPA FireSense® Suppression Systems

The SPA Technique FireSense Suppression Systems are specifically created for use in competition vehicles and offers the latest in on board fire suppression technology.

All SPA FireSense® AFFF in-car systems and hand helds utilize AFFF-AR (Aqueous Film Forming Foam - ALCOHOL RESISTANT). These non-toxic ozone friendly suppression systems give the competitor the same level of protection whether they're a top level pro or a weekend track racer.

WHY you should buy an SPA FireSense® System?

The fire suppression systems have been rigorously tested in conjunction with the BSI and MSA and fully conform to the latest FIA regulations for competition vehicles.

The 4 litre Multi-Flo systems were designed specifically for use in closed cockpit cars i.e. Saloon, Rally and Sports cars. They give an even two-liter split between engine and cockpit compartments from a single chamber bottle.

Installation Note: We have installed this kit in our in-house Z06 due to a recent and very small engine bay fire when a fuel line let go and this happened in the parking lot of our offices where we were able to extinguish it barely with a 2.5# hand held.  The reason we went this route is that many of our clients have large fuel systems and a lot of money into their builds and at the end of the day, what this system costs would be a drop in the bucket.

We took a different approach on the installation of the nozzles.  Spec is 2 in the engine bay and 2 in the drive area.  Since this is a street car and we have hand held halotron extinguisher, our in-house install has 3 in the engine bay and 1 by the gas tank bulkhead area where we have a secondary inline pump, filter and fittings.

We suggest purchasing additional 5/16" or 8mm Steel or Aluminum tubing as well as a multi-pack of fittings for a more custom / tight bends "needed" install.
