AAAF Foam is a good agent. It will freeze in cold conditions, but when it
thaws it is apparently unharmed. Halon works in all positions and
conditions. It is the only thing to use at high altitude in jet engines.
Halon definitely will work in an engine compartment in a GMC Motorhome. It
has put out several. Jim Bounds sells both as does Jim K.
