Stan's post has me thinking about fire extinguishers. I have the little
litre-or-so sized one (no gauge) by the sliding door opening and I've
never had to use it but I've always thought it was kind of weeny to put
out a real engine fire, so two questions:

--what size extiguishers do people have? and..

--is there a size/brand that can be refilled? Seems like a ridiculous
waste to be tossing a bottle every time the thing leaks enough air...
