This strategy is powerful, which means it might get PR’d into oblivion if someone sees it here. However, it also rewards creativity, which this writer personally loves. So don’t go putting this strategy into any guides, you hear? Let the players discover it on their own.--></div></div>

+ Blood Is Fuel (& other liquids, too.)
Extinguishers aren’t limited to just water.
In an emergency, you can get tiny uses out of it by only giving it 5u to blast. This means that, if you have a syringe, you can use your own blood to propel yourself.
If you don’t, just pour your drink into it.
- Liquids Are Rare
Salvagers usually don’t start with access to liquid.
Liquids can be found in water coolers, water/welding fuel tanks, or sinks.
When in doubt, use your department’s radio channel (:u, replaces the standard ;) to ask cargo to save you a tank.

+Lots of fuel in one tank makes it easier to find wrecks without a mass scanner.

-**BIG** Downside: You can’t wear a backpack with one of these on.
—If you want to keep your loot, you’ll have to [build|link:construction] a crate to put it in with 5 Steel, or find one on the wreck.
