Scott, Last year, I purchased a "Halotron Amerex fire extinguisher" for our van from an ebay seller after searching to no avail for a Halon type. If I understand correctly, Halotron is the current best affordable Halon replacement. Product description: "This Halotron 1 Fire Extinguisher is the perfect alternative to ozone-depleting Halon 1211 for effective fire control that is EPA approved. This extinguisher discharges a rapidly evaporating liquid (HydroChloroFluoroCarbon) that leaves no residue. The liquid extinguishes Class C fires without conducting electricity back to the operator. It also provides good visibility during discharge without the risk of thermal or static shock to sensitive electrical equipment. Recommended for use in computer rooms, cleanrooms, data storage areas, vehicles, laboratories and more. Compliance: EPA approved “Clean Agent.” ANSI/UL listed." Harold
