I couldn't decide where to put mine,so i keep it in the draw below the drivers seat.You could put it either side in the boot but it could get knocked about when loading or unloading.

Mine is temporarily wedged in behind the front passenger seat...
A good rule is to keep it very easy to reach.
If it takes more than 10 seconds to get to it, it's too late.
Remember, engine fires tends to grow big FAST. And there's a lot of really poisonous materials in that end of the car.
So if you're not spraying down the fire within 10 seconds, you should be running.
