This would blow out all antifreeze in the cooling system. This cooled the engine, and the excess water/coolant was dumped out the radiater overflow. Fire pump bleed source was allowed to enter the radiater directly.

Also controlled by the operater, this was used during extreme pump operations (master streem at full governed throttle) This allowed bleed water from the fire pump to directly cool the engine. This allows pump water to circulate within the intercooler during pump operations, to assist the engine fan in cooling the radiater. The radiater has an intercooler that is controlled by the truck operater. 1) isolated system - the engine is cooled by the coolant and fan only. The ALF 700 has 3 modes of engine cooling. It should have no trace of engine coolant! Check engine radiater for coolant. INSPECT the water when you drain the pump. Timing and distributer function is critical for the V-12.Įnjoy playing with your new truck! Note - if the pump has not been used in a while, fill with water and let sid for a few days, to allow the leather seals to absorb water and seal effectively. NO CARBON CORE! Carbon core wire has too much resistance and will cause cross firing in the distributer cap - VERY expensive to replace. YOU MUST use WIRE core wire, such as Packard 440. It can take up to 10 hours to do it right, and even more if ign wires need to be changed. Engine takes 8 quarts unless you change filter, then it can take up to 10 qts. Change oil at 500 miles, or 1 year, which ever comes first. If you put detergent oil in the engine, you risk running loosened debris thru the bearings! DO NOT use multigrade oils. This engine does not filter oil to the bearings! It merely takes oil pump bypass pressure and dumps it thru the oil filter and back to the pan. Some hints: Use SAE 30 NON detergent oil, unless the engine has been boiled out and rebuilt. The ladder truck, a long frame version that held up to 8 ladders including a 60 footer (3 tier) with 'tormenter poles), and a full hydraulic ladder (100"). The cities service short bed pumper, - meant for tight corners and small streets. The ALF 700 was commonly called a 'Cities Service truck', for that reason - it was mainly used in cities and towns. Don't try to run the truck at highway speeds, it was not meant to run at 60 MPH, nor for long term extended speed trips. DO NOT exceed 50 MPH for extended periods. To do so will cause engine destruction in short order. The ALF V-12 should NEVER exceed 4200 RPM. others use a vacuum governor that is internal to the carb. Several types use a hydraulic governor that uses water from the pump to maintain pressure, and that pressure maintains speed. First, what carbs are on your V-12? ALF used several carbs, and they function differently. Here is a photo of an actual 1953 American LaFrance Fire Engine. With this view you can see the rear-facing passenger seat, the two sets of hose (one on the side and another in the back), as well as the two fire extinguishers and the second ax. Here you can see the extending ladder, one of the axes, and a firefighter using the far side handle. Thank you, kindly, for the comments and support! I built the model using LEGO Digital Designer. The fire engine is outfitted with two sets of hose (one on the side and one in the back), an extending ladder, two axes, and two fire extinguishers. The top is removable to allow access to the cab interior.

The model features a driver seat, a rear-facing passenger seat, and side handles for two additional firefighters. The fire engine is a 6-stud-wide playable model. This classic fire engine would make a great addition to the LEGO Fire Brigade or any LEGO City layout.

I offer a tribute to an icon - the 1953 American LaFrance Fire Engine (2-Door 700 Series Truck).
