Hey, so does fire. :-) The question is which does more damage. I think you'll find the answer to be fire. Basically when it comes down to it I'd rather use an ABC extinguisher than let my van get toasted -- if your van is on fire, fire extinguisher residue is the least of your worries. Granted ABC might not be the best for the job, but it'll do I suppose. Halon would be nice tho.... :-)
