Tuesday Tech Question presented by Evans Coolant

Question:

I was told by my local technical inspector that my Advanced E.T. Chevy Cobalt is required to have a fire extinguisher system.  I did not think this was the case.  Can you please tell me who is correct?

Answer:

Your local technical inspector is correct.  A 5-pound, minimum, fire extinguisher system is mandatory on all cars, except rear-engine cars without an enclosed cockpit.
