The best type of fire extinguisher for use on flammable liquid fires is a portable fire extinguisher that can extinguish every single class of fire as defined by EN3 (A-B-E-D-F), NFPA/ANSI/UL (A-B-C-D-K) standards. This class of extinguisher should also be capable of extinguishing, in the flammable liquids class (B), both polar and non-polar fuels (polar: alcohols, ethers and esters; non-pollar: gasoline, etc.). In-depth research will show that in the last 100-years only a new Technology known as FFC (Fire Fighting Catalyst) by FireStopper® has produced the only reliable, independently tested and rated, listed, all fire-class effective fire extinguisher that meets the above requirements and more. As an added bonus, this new water-based "Green" Technology is freeze resistant to -100°F (-73.3°C) without harmful anti-freeze additives usable in the harshest environments of the planet.
