Hey, guys, which one of these https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/fire-extinguishers will be good for minivan? Thank you

That depends what is in your min-van rather, and what it is worth . Dry powder is the traditional for domestic vehicles in the UK, as working well on liquid fuel fires, but oh boy it makes a mess. so you may prefer to have  something else like CO2 as well if you have valuable stock you may hope to rescue, but you need the presence of mind to grab the right one so if in doubt just the one.

And on the mess front paying a bit more for the kind that stop when you release the trigger is also worth it (some of the simple ones just keep spraying).

Thank you for the reply! I have Nissan Quest (2014). I can't say that i have something really worth in it. Just common stuff for car: stereo, first aid kit and some small things. Wow, i didn't know that dry powder can make such mess. I suppose, that it will be wise to have both. Dry powder for a big trouble and co2 for small.

Just remember that a Co2 is displaced oxygen so should not be used in small consealed areas. 

water mist would be a good alternative as this can be used on electrical fires too.

Agreeing with Timeserved on the CO2 extinguisher. They are not suitable for a small confined space. You will not be able to hold your breath after setting it off, and must get to open air fast or you will suffocate. The sound when a CO2 extinguisher goes off can damage hearing. You may also blow burning materials round the space, rather than putting it out. The best bet for mixed materials in a small enclosed space is dry powder, despite the mess it makes. Failing that, water mist.
