Cold Start of the Diesel Perkins 540 V8 in my Fire Truck

Hello everyone,
It's cold. It's dark. So obviously it's time to try and start Jupes!

I did enjoy(!). With headphones the wonderfull deep rumble of the V8 is like music to my ears.

[@jamesh2436]

Interesting video once again. Hope one day to see your car challenges again. Those were really entertaining too.

We need more cold starts please, with lots of smoke👌🏻

[@bentullett6068]

Will you be thinking about taking Jupiter to the Statfold emergency vehicle event? They are running it again after last year's event.

[@Colin-rg7gt]

Rev the thing up because a just isn't driving any moisture out the compressor nor will blow the safety valve on the tanks and it's probably not doing the altonator and changing system any good as i seem to remember it takes like 50 to 100 miles to fully change a standard car battery and that's in the middle of summer.

Lewries logic "ran when parked, hmm should be fine"

[@lmm]

Absolutely!

[@LaurenceCorr]

Hello Lawrie

[@ludwigtails]

I was about to say
Wasn’t this the Fireman Sam truck
Then I saw there is a Fireman Sam plush on the front of driving desk thingy and that answered my question.

[@lmm]

Never heard of Fireman Sam

[@bwilesuk]

I didn't think it was gonna turn over then

[@jvmalta081]

keep it up :)

[@lordsjaak]

i wondering how other fire truck project going?

[@OscarVilleHeritageRailway]

First ,I love v8s

[@RG-Models86]

Great video, Lawrie 👍.
What's the air ventilation like in the shed?
As you've got to have Jupiter's engine ticking over for a while, I would imagine the air quality in the shed after a time is not good.

[@samuelweightman]

I saw you guys today. I didn't say hello you all were very busy talking to people.

[@jaggass]

Same steering wheel as a Bristol VR and speedo off Leyland Nationals, Olympians etc

[@trevorockwell8764]

That stupid low air buzzer would drive me mad.

[@paulhorn2665]

Better than drive away without air in the brakes🤣. Buzzer is designed to drive people mad.

[@trevorockwell8764]

@ yes but there is anyways going to be a period of time where air will need to build up and you would need to be in the vehicle. If idling a light would suffice. I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it anyway.

[@tboneisgaming]

Now you know what living with tinnitus is like 😂

[@ElliottVeares]

Hey, at least it isn't a siren or a fire bell for a low air buzzer.
