What type of fire extinguisher should be used on a gasoline fire I am?

the kind that puts the freaking fire out

You need to use a Class B extinguisher on flammable liquids.

You can use a B:C or an A:B:C rated fire extinguisher, the "B" means that it will extinguisher a flammable liquid fire like gasoline so as long as it has a "B" on it or a picture of a burning gas can on it you can use it.

Burning liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, paint, acetone, and so on.

A gasoline fire is a "flammable liquid" fire, and you would use a Class B (or ABC or BC) fire extinguisher. For example, if there were 5 square feet of flaming gasoline, you would need a 5-B:C extinguisher to be able to put it out safely. Using water (e.g., a 2A pressurized water extinguisher) would be a "bad idea" because it may simply spread the flaming liquid and make a bigger fire.

A class "C" fire extinguisher

An uncontrolled one. The type of extinguisher used would vary too. Depending on the source of the fire and what is burning..

True, provided that the extinguisher is the proper type. An ABC dry chemical extinguisher would be the best extinguisher to use.

A fire extinguisher with a class "C" rating. It has a blue circle with a "C" in it.

Burning liquids, such as gasoline, grease, paint, etc.

the best extinguisher would be an ABC extinguisher. It is the most universal. Although a Class D extinguisher should be used onflammable metals.

Foam , dry powder or a CO2 extinguisher.

A type B extinguisher.

What 'type' the fire is. The right extinguisher must be used for any fire. Or, more importantly - it can be very dangerous to use the wrong type of extinguisher, such as one with water should never be used on an electrical fire.

A water-type or water-based foam type of extinguisher should not be used on an electrical fire because water and foam are electrical conductors and could result in electrocution of the person using the extinguisher or anyone stepping in the water.

Until the extinguisher runs out. Which depends on type and capacity of the extinguisher.

Halon 1301 fire extinguisher are excellent, yet are pricy. However an ABC or a Co2 extinguisher will also work

Next time I am in a fire I will tell you. not necessrily if you use the wrong type you could spread the fire

Class B: Class B extinguishers are used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, oil, and oil-based paints.

An A:B:C extinguisher can be used on a small fire of type A, type B or type C.

A dry powder extinguisher, a CO2 extinguisher or a halon gas system.

A chip pan fire would be flaming grease, so you would use either an ABC, BC or K extinguisher on that type of fire, NEVER a type A that contains water.

A type B fire extinguisher is used for grease fires. In a commercial kitchen a Type K fire extinguisher is used for deep fat fryer fires and grease fires.

Kitchens should have an ABC extinguisher. Commercial kitchens with "cooking media" such as deep fryers would also need a Type K extinguisher.

Yes. They are rated for the type of fire they can be used against, and the capacity of the extinguisher.
