Abstract
A trifluoroidomethane mixture with an inert atmospheric buoyant gas such as helium form a fire suppressant gas that is used to stop the combustion of internal combustion engines of motor vehicles to stop the motor vehicles. The gas is contained for delivery to the motor vehicle. The suppressant gas can be used by law enforcement agencies to stop fleeing motor vehicles. The gas can be contained in a shell for dropping from freeway overpasses and helicopters. The gas can be dispersed from road side nozzles to stop fleeing vehicles, such as those running border, ports and custom facilities during unlawful smuggling.
