[quote name='Engine 2524' post='249422' date='Sep 24 2008, 22:47 ']Rigs built by Frazer have a separate generator (diesel, I believe) that powers the module itself independent of the engine. I don't know much about them as to why they are manufactured like that, however I know that a lot of EMS agencies down there in The Lone Star State swear by these types of ambulances. Perhaps John or one of our other Texas hombres can be of more information.[/quote]
Looks like that truck has a gas fill and a diesel fill.The generators should be gas, as Ive been told that a quiet enough diesel one in that size cant be found and the gas ones are easier to deal with. So many departments in south Texas like the Frazers due to the large A/C units with the heat they have. Acadian uses alot of Frazer and Excellance genny units for that reason. It also cuts down on chassis wear and makes remounts easier.
My Acadian unit is a genny unit and I wouldnt have anything else. With summer temps in the south so hot it is nice to get in my truck and have to turn the A/C off due to it being too cold in the box.
