For our new adventure traveling around the world we decided to make a big change that consisted mainly of changing our motorbike for a classic 30 years old 4×4 van.

The first thing we did was to restore it, add some elements that would allow us to travel through all kinds of routes and of course go through a camper conversion so that besides being our vehicle to move it would also become our home and place of work.

All our energy and savings, together with the help of some companies which sponsored some of these processes, were invested in the van so our future depended on the vehicle can resist the challenge of going around the world.

It was time then to start thinking about how to reduce the risks that at some point we could lose the van. We install alarm and anti theft systems, we also carry the necessary spare parts so that we do not have to leave the van abandoned in case it broke down in the middle of some remote desert but mainly we think about how to prevent that a fire in the engine or in the electric system could spread throughout the vehicle turning all our dreams into ashes, we discovered that the solution was as simple as BLAZECUT, specifically its “T” Series system.

This is a tube about 18 mm in diameter, an automatic fire extinguisher perfect to install on the engine of any vehicle, especially if like ours it runs on gasoline.

Its installation is so simple that it does not need more than a few plastic clamps, as well as its performance is simple because BLAZECUT reacts to the heat of the flame and the tube will melt releasing the extinguishing agent that will end with the fire before it extends through the rest of the vehicle.

• It works automatically: when the temperature rises above 120 ° C
• HFC: a clean and non-toxic extinguishing agent. The liquid found in the tube evaporates like a gas after an effect. You will avoid the cleaning costs associated with other fire extinguishing systems and is not corrosive and neither conducive to electricity.
• Independent: it does not need any electrical outlet to activate its operation.
• Durable and does not need maintenance.

We have it clear, better to prevent than to cure. From the kilometer zero we will start with a van free of fire risk, all our attention will be focused only on enjoying the road.
