Check the warning label on the extinguisher or in user manual concerning proper storage procedures. Extinguishers can explode with tremendous force if exposed to temps. over 120 F. Edit: please see link for a pic of what can happen. These things can become shrapnel grenades. http://www.nmsu.edu/…/…explosion2003.htm According to above link, if you are required to carry one, the trunk is the recommended place.
