I can't comment on what PWA7C and 750 MC do but I do know the situation with VSCC Trials. Firstly, yes, the MSUK Blue Book does say a minimum of 2.4kg AFFF. However, because of the size of these (never mind the size of a 3 litre) and where they could be fitted in many trials cars, VSCC has discussed this with MSUK. The result is that we have some dispensation.
As quoted in the regs for the John Harris:
'All competing cars must carry a primed Fire Exinguisher throughout the event. Competitors can use either the 1.75kg or 2.4Kg AFFF foam extinguisher or 2Kg powder. These can be in two seperate bottles.'
So, if cost and/or space are considerations, two 1Kg dry powder units are acceptable. If you already have a 1.75Kg unit, as long as this is in date, you're fine.
