ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle includes a vehicle body and at least one reservoir containing a fire suppressant agent. A distribution system receives the fire suppression agent from the reservoir and conducts the agent to at least one location about the vehicle's body in response to the determination by a sensor system and controller that the vehicle has been subjected to a significant impact. The reservoir includes a multifunction valve element which controls pressure and vacuum within the reservoir during standby operation, while causing the fire suppressant agent to be directed through the distribution system if the propellant activates.
