Fire Supression System: Where are the nozzles? How do I know if it's charged?

I was thinking about adding a fire extinguisher to the rollcage and then remembered the big "fire" switch on my dash and the fact that these cars have a fire supression system. Where are the nozzles? Where does it spray? How do I know if the system is charged and ready to operate?

one nozzel pointing at driver under dash and steering wheel the other in rear of engine compartments directly behind upper intake manifold. The tank does have a guage. It unscrews form the black top and can be recharged. They are supposed to be certified for use.

Pull the handle real hard. You should know immediately if there is a charge and where all the nozzles are. If nothing happens, it's empty. Either way you will need a refill.

^ Hahaha... I took it all apart tonight. One nozzle points at your feet and the other goes to the firewall to the back of the motor. There is a gage on it... check yours, mine was empty and the top of the canniser is rusting/peeling.

I took it out and shot off the last few psi for shits and giggles.... need to track down a new bottle.
