Starting to nut out nozzle placements.

Am thinking of routing engine bay pair all the way to the back of the engine bay and them aiming them forward (toward where the fuel is) - so as to shoot a stream of retardant under the header pipes and under the carbies.....(ie flanking both sides of engine whilst aimed at forward engine bay "firewall")
