Fire suppression systems

I need to replace the fire suppression system in my Lola. Looking for thoughts, opinions, on what to get.

Check your rules first. Does it need to be SFI or FIA compliant? Also space can be at a premium in Formula Fords and Formula Vee's
Oher considerations would be:
Clean Agent of Foam System - Both have there good and bad attributes.
Manual or Automatic System - Again, Both have there attributes of cost difference
Most Formula cars can get away with a (2) Nozzles system - Driver and Engine
Make sure system comes with the "E" Sticker
Systems with Aluminum Tubing make a nice install.
NEVER - mix and match plumbing and nozzles

I have been in the racing safety business for many years and I cant tell you how many Fire Systems I have seen and serviced that are inadequate

I replaced the antiquated foam system in my Van Diemen last year. I went to a Novec system from Lifeline. I put pictures up on Facebook, under the Formula Continental group, let me know if you want me to post here. Novec is heavier than air so I put the nozzles up high, 2 on the engine side and 1 in the cockpit. The system comes with everything you need. Just don't rush the installation, take your time.

I would appreciate a pic as I don't have FB
Thank you

If you have some time, I understand Lifeline has bought SPA. I have the Novec SPA 17.2 system which is the smallest bottle I have seen, if space is a premium. It is probably one of the lightest on the market also for the price.

it is the same size as the old Lifeline bottles. When I spoke to Lifeline a few years ago, they had no plans for a smaller bottle, but now…

The Lifeline Zero 360 is one of my more popular systems for Formula Fords, Formula Vee's and Sports Racers.
