How does the FireSlayer kit actually put out an engine fire in my Vanagon?

The FireSlayer kit uses a special heat-sensitive tube that runs through your engine bay. When the temperature reaches between 230F and 248F, the tube ruptures. This automatically releases the FE-36 extinguishing agent directly onto the fire, smothering it quickly. It’s designed for automatic engine fire suppression.

Is installing this fire suppression system a difficult process for a Vanagon?

Not at all! The FireSlayer Fire Suppression Kit is designed for easy installation. It mounts under your engine compartment lid using simple zip ties – no drilling required. This makes it a straightforward DIY job for most Vanagon owners.

What makes the FE-36 agent in the FireSlayer kit a good choice for my vehicle?

The FE-36 agent used in the FireSlayer kit is excellent because it’s non-corrosive and leaves no residue after deployment. This means it won't damage your engine components or leave a mess to clean up, unlike some other fire suppression agents.

Will this Fire Suppression Kit work with my specific Vanagon model?

Yes, the FireSlayer Fire Suppression Kit (part number FS-FS6RV) is compatible with all Vanagon models, including 2WD and 4WD versions, and various body styles. It also fits Type 2 Buses from 1968-1979 and Vanagons from 1980-1991, regardless of whether you have an automatic or manual transmission.

This kit installs easily under the engine compartment lid in your Vanagon. No need to drill holes in your engine compartment lid, either. The tubing attaches to the wire mesh underneath the foam with included zip ties.

It works automatically (no power source and no wires). The tube contains an FE-36 extinguishing agent—when the tubing melts at 230F - 248F degrees, it sprays the engine bay with this extinguishing agent, starving the fire of oxygen. FE-36 is non-corrosive and leaves no nasty residue, which means it'll save your hide and it won't make an unruly mess.
