Fire extinguisher charge "red zones".

[Shop Rat]

At the Shelbyville, TN regular Spring Meet the fellow serving as the chassis judge came to me and suggested that if the owner came back around (no one was with the car at that time) that I should mention that the extinguisher with the car was nearly in the "red zone" and that he/she/they might want to replace it before the next show.

I picked the extinguisher up and looked at the dial. The indicator was in the green zone but close to the "overcharged " red zone, not the "discharged" red zone. So there was no need to speak to or leave a note for the owner(s).

I used that as a teaching moment with my team.
