Fire extinguishers and FIA list numbers

I'm in need of a new extinguisher system and wanted to check if anyone knows what we need to fit in a clubmans car to comply with FIA approval. I've seen mention of FIA 8865 standard, FIA list 16 and FIA list 52. Will any of these match our needs?

I look forward to learning more from the forum readers in the know.

Re: Fire extinguishers and FIA list numbers

Hi Steve
As I understand it you must comply with Motorsport UK regulation K3, the relevant system being 3.1.3 below - ie plumbed in discharging into the engine bay and the cockpit using 2,25 litres of AFFF or ZERO 2000 extinguishant. A good example is Lifeline 360 Firemarshal 2,25kg system.
We really want to see you out in Clubmans next year
Best wishes, Pete
