What's the concern with their lithium test video? It was not a pure lithIon fire, as tested by BAFE. BAFE is God in The UK fire trade. I'm also curious about the general comment on class D extinguishers, Is for flammable metals, so when machining etc. Not batteries. It has a different method...

Simply put. If not red they are not approved for UK use. The Lithium fire test was a good giggle in the trade when it first come out. Not much will tackle a lithium fire. Small house old stuff a foam or a powder will slow it down. The times I see a class D type being advised I giggle.

But It is advised a minimum of a 2kg powder is better, better still if backed up with a 1.2m Fire blanket.

Very little works on EV Fires. The current method is, once the flames are out submerge in water for 29days.

As a a BAFE Engineer, Foam extinguishers are not being phased out. As the have a good use. What is being clamped down on is the discharging of said units down the drains. A few money grabbing companies will tell you that and sell you a ECO foam unit. What does not have a good fire rating.

In a home, if it is just a family home. 1 x 2kg powder. 1 x 1m fire blanket. If you have a workshop. 1 x 2kgco2 1 x 6lt foam. If welding on a car etc, 1x 4kgDry powder. That is as a minimum. If you contact your insurance they will be able to advise if you can get a reduction following a risk...

Will be able to see as well. Keep warm. Plus eat hot food.

It is has all but small castings of SIF 1940. WD It is a SIF, but the records show it may bea copy of a Millers, with no S/N it is hard to prove. Not the first millers of a SIF that goes out of its way to confuse humans. Itis yes.

The price tag said £0:50p, so I had it away. Soon had it in bits and into the Citric acid. A nice finish to the castings. Rattle can paint.

The replacement arrived yesterday.

The round rubber feet would not seem to support that theory. They are the wrong shape to clamp flanges. Rubber and welding do not play well together. They do, as they do not distort the metal flange. You spot weld and that holds it, you move the clamps as you advance. Not enough heat generated.

Flanges Seam Clamp. Used to clamp the old seams, mainly see on classis Mini, so you can spot weld them.

I have seam Post office staff kick throw and generally abuse items to be delivered. From sorting office to the man in the van.

The rest of the 5 packages arrived via Fed Ex. Arrived undamaged.

A friend sent me a nice table. It was bubble wraped, backed in packing media, wrapped in brown paper. Then placed in a plastic shipping container, then packed with more bubble wrap and packing media. Then that was sealed into shrink wrap. The Grunting Evri driver left this, in a clear plastic...
