∙ 13y agoWater and foam extinguishers are typically propelled with compressed air.
Dry chemical extinguishers with stored pressure are typically pressurized with nitrogen; cartridge operated extinguishers are typically pressurized with carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers are self-propelling and the gas is self-explanatory. Likewise with halon and other clean agents.

What will happen if you remove syphon tube from the CO2 fire extinguisher?
If you remove the siphon tube from a CO2 fire extinguisher, the extinguisher will not work properly. The siphon tube is responsible for drawing and releasing the CO2 gas from the extinguisher. Without it, the CO2 gas will not be able to flow out effectively, rendering the extinguisher ineffective in suppressing fires.
