Gas powered Allertor?

Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:48 am

Just wondering, is this one of those gas powered Allertors? It looks kind of funny.

Most likely not. You'd see quite a few more boxes, more like the petrol (I'm Australian, get used to it) powered Thunderbolt.

I agree... It looks electric. I've seen an ad (posted here last year?), for a gas Allertor. I would think that in Australia, any non-electric siren should be Diesel, not petrol :D . (I said that because I'm jealous that we don't have small Diesels here in the USA much anymore)

Yes, that's a real 500-lb Federal SD-10 I'm holding (braggart!)

Any diesel-run siren installed in a cooler climate (i.e. everywhere outside of southern California) would need an extensive heating system along the fuel lines to prevent the formation of paraffin.
