VW Aircooled Works - Fireboy Fire suppression system group buy

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.

I just wanted to say thanks for the excellent service. My Fireboy system was delivered today. Guess I will add fitting it into Bertie to my list of jobs this weekend! It looks straight forward but I will give you a shout if I have any queries.

Many thanks
Gary

 

Gary,

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

Hi Peter,

Looks a great piece of kit, to be honest i have usually fitted the other tubed system into a few of my customers campers, but would like to give this a go mate.

I have sent you a PM.

cheers, Si.

 

Hi Si,

system posted and appreciate the positive comments from everybody on the forums and who we meet at the shows, 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.

Thanks for the prompt delivery of my system. It is being fitted any day now (hopefully).
I've just seen you will be at SVWOC's Dub Oddyesy 26th - 28th July at Hooton Lodge Rotherham, I'll pop over and say hello. Any Northern dubbers who are considering protecting their vans can have a look at mine and I'll happily share my opinion. Cheers Paul

 

All packed and ready for dubs at the hall. hope to have a great weekend, please pop by for a chat.
