My Kubota L3200 will be delivered here this weekend & I'm planning on mounting a fire extinguisher on it, but trying to figure out what type to get. The powder type ABC ones work best for most stuff you'd encounter on a tractor or in a field. However I was wondering if it would be a decent option for dealing with a runaway diesel. I expect a CO2 or Halon (if you could even find one) would be better for a runaway, but not cover quite as many materials (Class BC, not A).
Would a powder ABC plug up an air filter & stop the runaway, or go through the filter and do naughty abrasive things to the engine (which may or may not be better than a runaway)?
