Description The 173FE Diesel Fire Pump Engine is a specialized power unit built for the extreme demands of emergency response. Engineered to drive high-pressure centrifugal pumps, this 247cc engine delivers the consistent torque required to maintain a powerful fire stream through long hose runs. With its air-cooled design and electric start system, it offers a perfect balance of portability and rapid deployment capability for industrial, marine, and agricultural fire protection. Key Features Emergency Dual-Start: Features a 12V Electric Start for instant activation under pressure, with a heavy-duty Recoil Start as a failsafe backup. Direct Injection System: Ensures high fuel atomization for reliable first-turn starting and excellent fuel economy during extended operations. Forced Air Cooling: A high-velocity flywheel fan and specialized cooling fins allow the engine to run at 100 percent load even in high-heat fire environments. High Flash-Point Fuel: As a diesel engine, it is significantly safer to operate and refuel in fire-prone areas compared to highly volatile gasoline alternatives. Compact Portability: At roughly 32kg, it is designed for rapid transport by two people or mounting on mobile skid units for remote access.
