If you get a long narrow one, you can fit a 2lb powder extiguisher in the pocket. This is sufficient for any car fire as long as you catch it at the beginning. On the subject of extinguishing - if using a small 2lb extiguisher on a car fire, the trick is to discharge the whole thing in one go. This is far more effective than doing one burst, realising that it wasn't enough, doing another burst, realising you've run out, etc. Just get nice and close, point and discharge until empty. -- Grunff
