Oddly enough, and just to add debate, I was lucky that the fire extinguisher didn't work when my van's fuel lines went up... The fire was small and out early, but an extinguisher would have eaten the metal of the engine block, doing more damage than the fire did. 'S just what the friendly local firemen said as they swapped stories about all the vehicles they'd burned themselves.
