Guys,
Please check the fluid level of your AFF system at least annually... There is no way to physically check to see what (if any) water/foam additive is left in your fire bottle.

Case in point, I took mine out to fix the 3-link and discovered a completely empty bottle... All the distilled water and additive had evaporated...

This will be one of my annual "top off" items.

Good reminder. Had the same thing 2 years ago. somehow the burst disc... burst - C02 bottle was not punctured. I keep a spare foam agent/C02 in the travel box.
