Hi,
Can anyone tell me the latest regs re extinguishers for this year. My car currently has an in date Lifeline 2.25 system (2 nozzles, maybe 4mm plastic pipes?) I have a new Lifeline Zero 2000 4ltr system to go in (8 nozzles, 8mm plastic coated metal pipes). While I appreciate it would be prudent to fit the new (better) kit now do I have to (if I run out of time before the first race) to comply with the blue book (I’m aware I can download this but was hoping someone could summarise it to save me some time).

If your current 2.25L system has been serviced within the past 2 years then you can continue to run that this year but you will need to fit the 4L FIA spec system for 2022.

Thanks,. It was serviced just over a year ago so if push comes to shove at least we can start the season but will try and get the new extinguisher installed before we start racing hopefully.
