Isn't trying to put out a car fire kind of a bad idea? I've always been told that if my car was on fire, I should get out of there and run.

I would agree. I have these for emergency exit from our house in case of fire blocking our escape.

My husband and I were unfortunate enough to experience both a car and a motorcycle fire. This size extinguisher would have been too small for either one. Although we still have one in every car just in case. We were not in/on the vehicle when it started. Always call the fire dept. first. A Med. size extinguisher was big enough for the car, but it took both a med. one at first, then 10 minutes later it re-ignited and took a much larger one to put out the bike. The fire dept. was called first on both occasions. They told us they would rather show up to a fire that we thought we put out, than to show up and have to call an ambulance. Never try to fight any kind of large/explosive fire yourself. My husband and I were unfortunate enough to experience both a car and a motorcycle fire.

Sure. This isn't going to put out any type of car. This product size is way to small. Best on stove top fire.

No, not even for a short time. For this application, you will probably need to use a fuel burning appliance, outside the vehicle.

Not for sure if you can but I would think you could. We get flames ever once in a while and it doesn't seem to hurt it at all.

as long as the car is running, don't shut off the car without turning of the heater.had it hooked up to a battery charger/jump starter only lasted a few hours

Yes, I do it all the time with ATVs and cars that are rarely used. I thought it was a bad idea for a long time, then started a car with it on without paying attention, no harm.

Please watch multiple youtube videos on how to install a car amp. Your car WILL catch on fire if you fail to install the amp power line and fuse incorrectly. I wish I could expound on this topic, but it is not the right forum to cover how to safely install an amp. I would hate to see your any car burn to the ground and insurance not pay your claim because of you failed to install the amp correctly.

I don't know but I do know this is a faulty product and the ON button can stick at ON, possibly causing a fire unless you just happen to be standing right there and spot the emergency.

So your lighter is always paired with your paracord. Ever have a lighter in your pocket, go to take it out, and oops! I left it in the car!

You should always have a way to start fire. If in a city I suggest getting some sterno. That way you can boil water.

all depends on your car if the outlet is hot whether your car is on or off you do not need to start car but if not you will need to run car to make your car outlet hot

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. �

7/5/2014 Good Day Rayn, You should STOP using this item, this is a fire hazard. You could be injured. Contact the seller you purchased this from, as common sense would dictate this is NOT how it should work and there is no fixing it. Sincerely, Customer Service Dept. JoyToyShop

Hi Joe - no you can't start a fire with it. It is a cigarette lighter for a vehicle. We got it as a replacement for our 1986 Buick Regal.

Is this a serious question? What's wrong with you? When was the last time you saw someone catch on fire at a the pump or gas station in general? Pull you head in....

If you meant leaving it ON inside the car, then there's a huge possibility that the battery would explode, not to mention, it would possibly fry some components in it. That's why I replaced the battery with a super capacitor.

Yes!!! The thermostat isnt cycling like it should.You could start a fire easily.
