Hi Mike,
A couple of thoughts here.
1. The engine should have one nozzle.
2. The fuel area should have a nozzle.
3. THE MOST IMPORTANT AREA IS WHERE YOU SIT!!!!!!!
It really does not matter if the fire is put out in the engine or fuel area. These parts are replaceable.
You are not. It is always best to give the driver time to get out of the car if there is a fire event. You will need as much time as you can buy with the fire suppression system to make sure that you:
1. Do not breath in flames.
2. That your nomex does not see above 450 degrees for more than 20 seconds.
3. That you have time to get out without any of the first two happening.
Please believe me here, I have been in a few race car fire events and can show the scars from them. If I had not of had a fire system on board that was primarily aimed at the driver compartment, I would not be able to respond to your query.
