Just out of curiosity, I removed the halon unit from the engine compartment in my 1981 30+.
It has a date of manufacture of 1989.
According to the label, it should be weighed every 6 months to be sure it has enough halon, I suppose.
Any thoughts about this unit? Can I assume that the heat sensor still works after all these years. Is there someplace the sensor can be checked? Should I shell out 400 bucks for a new unit that has the halon replacement, on the assumption that it is more likely to actually work if there is a fire?
An engine compartment fire is obviously a serious concern.
