Yes this is a very good idea! For the last 13yrs I have had one in my work truck and have used it several time on other vehicals. I am one of those guys that stops and changes tires and that sort of stuff but their is nothing like seeing a flame under a vehical in front of you on the freeway and being able to help out just in time. I would not have had one if it was not required by my company.

Now 13yrs later and I have been testing out Low Buck for a few days when I pop the hood in front of my house and see a small amount of gas sitting in the pockets of the intake manifold. So I reach inside teh cab and fire it up to see if I can find teh leak to fix it. Guess what I find it allright as teh entire engine flames up and sine this is not my work truck I don't have an extinguser. I run accross the lawn and grab teh hose and put it out. I then walk back to the shop and grab one of the FE I have all over the shop and put it in teh truck before I even looked for the leak. It has beed their ever since.
Don't learn the hard way like us, learn from us instead!
