I would suggest storing the margarine with huge amounts of popping corn. It may not control the fire, but it would be mighty tasty.

Anybody knows if this is based on actual testing? Is ESFR suitable for this type of storage? In the catastrophic fire in Mont Blank tunnel fire a truck carrying margarine and flour got ignited. It was found later that in terms of HRR is would be similar to gasoline tanker (90% of). I would appreciate any info.
