Engine Bay Fire Suppression System

Been asked about the CO detector:

Thanks for the interest and yes these are a must have for any van with a heater or cooking facility.







The pictures show that this is a retro looking piece of kit, manufactured in the USA and a sophisticated micro processor. Here goes the technical bit.

The majority of the cheap systems out there only actuate at high concentrations and also are prone to giving nuisance alarms that are misleading and a pain. Carbon monoxide poisoning works by accumulating in the blood stream, and in effect killing you slowly!

The system will alarm instantly if levels of 10% COHb are detected, but also has a smart micro processor that accumulates the information and determines when an alarm level as been reached. For example at a very low level of 70ppm over 240 minutes the alarm will sound.

Mild CO poisoning is evident by slight headaches, nausea (non alcohol induced I may add) and flu like symptons.
Medium exposure is severe throbbing headache, drowsiness and fast heart beat. All way through to unconsciousness.

Whatever you buy please make sure that the system has these features, as many don't. Save a few quid but risk much more.

OK I have pitched the price as best I can considering this is a very tidy piece of USA manufactured kit,we usually retail this at £75. As a forum price purchased together with a Fireboy system would be UK Delivered £61.50 and if purchased separately will be £68.00.

Peter, can i get one of these and how long for delivery please? I've just read the thread and it sounds good to me. A couple of hundred quid to protect thousands of £'s worth of engine, let alone life!

I'll message you my personal details

Thanks
Paul

 

thanks paul. Sales have been high this week so got another batch under filling and QC release by this weekend. So will have systems to ship after bank holiday. Hope that is ok. I have replied to your pm.

Anyone wanting a system just needs to send me their full name, daytime address to courier item to, whether they want std/deluxe and/or CO detector, plus an email address and contact number. Then I send invoice for bank transfer ideally or paypal if you must (hate the charges)

New batch of systems on the way down to Stonor Park show this Sunday. We have a couple of systems being picked up and several people popping in to see it in the flesh. If you mention the forum when you come on the stand I will honour the price.
Have the standard system, deluxe system, Carbon Monoxide detectors and the gas leak solenoid cut off at the show.
cheers

Just a quick line to say we are now off to Bus Stopover and will be trading at the weekend. Look out for the yellow and white splittie next to the orange/black café de circe gazebo. Or the kids in front of the gazebo learning circus tricks.
Pop by and say hello and if you fancy buy a system, we take card payment, mention the forum and you get the forum price, don't be shy.
Remember VW Aircooled Works can also install the system at our workshop or your place of residence (subject to a fuel charge) if you are not confident in installing yourself.
cheers and safe journey to all that are coming to the show.

no sae j30 r9 will only last the life of the warrenty of a modern car, so about 4/5 years. however the advantage of r9 is it is suitable for fuel containing biofuel / ethanol.
we offer a 100% biofuel line whic is a minimum of 25 year life. it is suitable for petrol containg upto 100% ethanol. so no issues if the petrol regs change again.

sorry typing on a phone hope this makes sense. if you would like details have a look at our website. we have done a couple of page write up to show people what we offer.

 

happy to answer any questions come see us at busfest in the avon hall. or i will post any replies when we get a quiet peroid or back home.
cheers
