Thought I'd pass this on as I found the info to be helpful.
For those of us using portable FE's...CG approved Multiple Type B1's...check yours and remove any that are rated with a preceeding A (ie: 1A:5BC) The A denotes compatible with paper, wood, plastics, etc. Can be put out with water. The A also denotes the presence of ammonium phosphate which is highly corrosive to engine components and metals.
Type B1- B/C is non corrosive and rated for gas, oil and electrical fires. I carry 2 Type B1's rated at 10:BC
