Default fire extinguisher?

After reading a post related with a burning truck I would like to know if someone of you carries a fire extinguisher and which size?

Hearing that my with a lot of work build Jeep could light up in smoke scares me a bit.
So what should I carry?

I have 2 2.5 dry chems in the truck (one in the cab and one in the toolbox) havnt needed them yet thank god. I like the dry chem since it will kill a runaway diesel as well.

2.5 lb abc dry chem. it has bailed me out a couple of times in my work truck, not yet in my dodge, thankfully. if i am correct the abc dry chem can be used in most all situations, electrical, fuel and such. if i am wrong someone chime in. i just carry what the boss man tells me too.

careful with the halon. halon is an oxygen displacer, and it can suffocate you if your are in an enclose area. but it works great as an extinguishing agent.
