Overview
The Kidde Auto 10 (M10G) is a 2.9 pound vehicle fire extinguisher rated 10-B:C, sized and bracketed for a car or truck rather than a house, aimed at flammable liquid, gas, and electrical fires.
This is Kidde's vehicle-specific unit, smaller and rated differently than their home extinguishers: it carries a B:C rating only, with no A rating for ordinary combustibles like wood or paper, since a vehicle fire is far more likely to involve fuel, fluids, or wiring. The included strap bracket is meant for a trunk, cab, or under-seat mount rather than a wall.
- 10-B:C fire rating for vehicles
- 2.9 pound sodium bicarbonate charge
- 100 PSI operating pressure
- Strap bracket included for vehicle mounting
Who it's for
Fits drivers who want a small extinguisher within reach in a car, truck, or work van for a fuel, electrical, or fluid fire. Not a substitute for a household extinguisher since it has no rating for ordinary combustibles.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sized and bracketed for vehicle mounting
- 10-B:C rating targets fuel, liquid, and electrical fires
- Aluminum construction with impact-resistant handle
- Pressure indicator for a quick charge check
- No A rating, so not suited to ordinary combustible fires
- Shorter 6 to 8 foot discharge range than home units
- No reviews yet to confirm reliability
Performance notes
Discharge lasts 8 to 12 seconds over a 6 to 8 foot range at 100 PSI, shorter reach and time than the home-sized Kidde units, which fits a vehicle's smaller, closer-quarters fire risk. The aluminum body and pressure indicator work the same way as Kidde's home line: green on the gauge means charged.
