Fire Suppression System Installation Ideas

Finally getting to putting my fire suppression system in. I would greatly appreciate pictures how how you have your bottle and nozzles mounted.

IMO a three independent zone system would be ideal. However, in a crash/emergency that might overcomplicate matters, therefore I'm installing a dual zone, engine zone and a driver and fuel cell zone. Thinking an engine fire is easy relatively to spot, the driver in most cases will be the one triggering an engine concern, and I prefer not to compromise the driver compartment while I get the car to a safe stop and exit while suppressing any engine issues first. If my first concern is with the fuel cell, it's only a matter of time before the driver is in harm's way, and I rather get a head start on suppressing anything in driver area as I make an exit, or a first responder can trigger the driver/cell zone.

Mine is a two zone. One zone under the dash spraying towards me. One zone in the engine compartment.

I have mine mounted on top of the driveshaft tunnel in the back seat area. It's the most central area to the engine bay, drivers area, and fuel cell, and makes routing of the firing system pretty easy to set up. By putting it on top of the tunnel, if I need to get into the back seat area (assuming I can crawl past the bars), there is a flat spot to land and sit/kneel on.

All six discharge points go off at once if activated. Because an engine bay only fire is the most likely scenario, If I was going to do it again I'd separate the system between and engine only discharge, and a secondary interior/fuel cell discharge.
