Aircooled VW South Africa

Here are 2 interesting portable fire pumps I have aquired.

They are build by Rosenbauer in Austria. The company still stands today it seems.

These 2 were decommissioned from KWV in Paarl.

The one is 100% complete, but the other is missing its fuel tank and magneto. The one has less than 100 hours on it and the other one a little more than 100 hours. This is pretty much brand new and they sound pretty much brand new when running.

Here are a few pics.

With cover on.




The pump/engine is mounted on a unit that has 4 handles to carry it. Its only stationed loosely on the trolly.






Clutch lever to engage or disengage the pump.

Strange generators. These are the smaller diameter you would have on a 6v 1200 engine, but they are actually 12v.


Unique Carb with strange primer on idle jet?


2nd unit with missing tank and magneto. This ones trolley is the same except for it having solid rubber wheels where as the other has inflatables.

Interesting find! Someone on here was advertising a magneto not so long ago. Don't know if it's the same as the one you're missing, but worth a look.
