We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Tim Downie"
saying something like:

A bit OT as it's not DIY but does anyone know approximately how much it
costs to refill a 5kg CO2 extinguisher?

On this very subject I came across mention of filling it yourself, so it
can be DIY. Somebody here posted a link about filling CO2 cartridges and
from that there was something else about fire extinguishers.
Obviously, it wouldn't meet with any approval, but even a DIYd fire
extinguisher is better than buggerall.

unless an insco get involved, in which case there could be problems
