Walnut Grove MN USA | All Top Fuel Funny car race cars in the NHRA are required to have fire suppresion systems on them. Just basicly fire bottles with hoses going to the critical areas, namely the engines and triggered by a lever or button by the driver. Have seen some pretty big fires put out in a hurry. Problem is a driver has the fire bomb right in front of him/her which isn't so on a combine. Even a high temp engine compartment alarm would be helpful on a combine and in other likely areas as well. Least an opperator would get more warningthat way. I have always thought that a fire bottle should be installed in such a way that it could be triggered from the ground and a hose run into the engine compartment instead of lugging a 30 lb bottle up a ladder that has to be opened up. would save a few seconds plus not get near a hot fire. | |
