Title: Firefighting foam
Post by: steve5125 on October 13, 2006, 02:37:08 PM

Can anyone help me with a quick question?
How do I work out how much foam needed to extinguish a fire in a tank of derv and also a tank of kerosene. I have seen a couple of different formulas but both contradict the other.
Any help with this matter greatly welcomed. Thanks

Thanks conqueror. I had thought about that as a reference but I have been working from home and not at the office where all my ref material is. Thanks again
