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.
Foam , dry powder or a CO2 extinguisher.
dry powder and foam
Use a foam extinguisher to smother the fire without spreading it.
Approximately ten square feet of surface of a Class B flammable liquid fire.
Burning liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, paint, acetone, and so on.
you will die!
no
A CO2 fire extinguisher will work on flammable liquid and electrical fires only. If used on any other type of fire they will just give it more oxygen and it will spread.
no it is not flammable. Its actually an fire extinguisher
flammable liquids
There is no liquid powder extinguisher on the market.
You need to use a Class B extinguisher on flammable liquids.
Since petroleum is a flammable liquid, a Class B fire extinguisher would be used.
Under the US standards for fire extinguisher testing and labeling, the number tells you approximately how many square feet of flammable liquid surface can be covered using the fire extinguisher properly. For example, 40B would mean 40 square feet.
