I want to start this thread with finding out if there has been any known Safecraft failures out there? Please respond to me either thru this thread or privately.
I have had two car fires, the first one had the Safecraft system fail to trigger. The fire was extinguished immediately by my pit crew but not so soon that the system should still have triggered. The second one burned for 29 seconds. After the second fire the system had supposedly activated as the sensor was triggered and the cylinder gauge showed it was empty. There was NO fire suppression whatsoever even though the system had supposedly activated. I have both fires on video, the first video was stopped as soon as the fire was ignited but the system was not activated. The second video clearly shows no suppression.
My question is, what happened to the system? Was the content of the cylinder not good? inadequate amount? I always do a complete safety check of the car before every race and the cylinder showed full with a good sensor.
I would love to speak to Safecraft regarding this issue but my previous dealings with them proved impossible to get a response....maybe because I was trying to collect contingency? LOL That's a whole different story.
Either way, I was blown off by them so I am going to this forum to see if this has been a problem with anyone else. There are a lot of car fires out there and it would be interesting to get some data on if these cars had any fire suppression systems. Thanks
