Is this why my old extinguisher at camp just spits white dust?!
Tested it the other day, because why not? It's there because it's old, and the place is literally a swamp, nothing going to burn down.
Lol, white dust is what a dry powder extinguisher is meant to spit out. Ths issue is that if the powder becomes too compacted, it won't come out. Look up a video of a dry powder extinguisher in use to see if it's working like it should.
However, they are more-or-less single use. If you've used it, even partially, you should really get it recharged or replaced.
