What I don't understand is the objection to Halon when cars lose more
refrigerant every day than is used in controlling boat fires. lets face
facts, a fire a sea is a huge threat to life and a few Kg of Halon will
put out a fire much better than powder -especially a fuel fire in a bilge!

Aren't the new refrigerants far more environmentally friendly that
Halon?


It's all relative. Is a 50% better refridgerant a suitable replacement?
