Also, whatever you ultimately decide to install in your cars, please remember that proper installation is suggested. It's there to give you time to get out of the car, putting out the fire itself is just a secondary effect.

Totally agree. And practice a few times getting it out of the holder as fast as you can and become familiar with it! I have seen a few that were put in cool looking places, but could't figure out how I would get to it or get it out in an emergency.

What size would you recommend for mounting on the rear bulkhead, between the seats? Any other recommendations or suggestions?

This is pretty cool too for engine bay. Just don't know where I would put the bottle!

Bernica,
Have you seen the Kirkham setup?
The bottle sits on the trans cover under the dash.
The actuator knob is on the dash and it's plumbed to the center top firewall and driver side.

No, I haven't. If you have pics, that would be good. My current one is at same location, but a manual system that I have to pull out and use manually. Nice chrome unit, and I have practiced getting it out of there. But, if I had a developing dash fire I would be under there trying to pull it loose.

3 liter system with bottle mounted in the trunk. Actuator only to be mounted in the passenger compartment, along with at least one of the three nozzles. 1 nozzle in the engine compartment on the firewall pointed towards the top of the engine and fuel supply, one mounted at the rear where the fuel supply leaves the tank.

Unless you are going with an automatic set up (it is my understanding it uses a temp sensitive, burn through actuator in the engine compartment), if you cannot reach the handle, then it is useless.
