Best Answer

A car extinguisher may be necessary for putting out several different types of fires, so it should be a Class A:B:C extinguisher, normally dry powder. For an irreplaceable classic, one might consider a CO2 or a "clean agent" extinguisher, to avoid the damage potential of dry powder chemical extinguishers.

A dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher can be used on a car fire if that fire isn't too large. Either type can be effective, if used correctly, in suppressing a smaller fire of burning fuel or of the materials of construction, like those in the seats or interior.

What puts out a fire faster water or a fire extinguisher?

Trick question, if the fire extinguisher is full of water, such as a Class 2A. However, a fire extinguisher is designed to put out a small fire quicker than anyone can respond with a hose and a water supply. Unfortunately, many fires react violently when water is applied to them, so a different type of fire extinguisher must be used.
