I bought a H3R Halon Fire Extinguisher Model: RT A600 while at Sun-n-Fun. Today my plane was sitting outside (about 92 degrees OAT) at a flyin and when I opened the canopy and leaned in to move something I heard something and found that my extinguisher was leaking around the top. I looked it over good and saw that an o-ring had blown out in a small area under the top. The label says to store between -40 and 120. I would guess that it might have gone over 120 inside.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Has anyone got one in their plane that gets hot and have not had a problem with it?
If you do have one and have not checked it lately take it out of the clamp and make sure it has not leaked out. There was no residue, if I had not heard it I would have never know it leaked. It is now very light and I guess empty.
I'll email the company it has a 5 yr. warranty.
They replaced it with a Model A344T which is still good today 04JUL19
