[SEL] 11 horsepower lamp start Austral oil engine--Info Needed

[Patrick M Livingstone]

Hi Arnie,
	The big tank that hangs below the engine is the water tank. The fuel
tank is between the rails directly under the engine.
The cooling water is circulated by the water pump and is aided in cooling by
passing over slats in the cooling tower. The exhaust passes through the
cooling tower and aids in cooling by forcing a rush of air through the
tower. Makes for a great exhaust note.
The smaller Australs do not have the water pump & cooling tower setup but a
large tank and thermosyphon cooling.

G'day Patrick,

Dave and I had been discussing Australs over the weekend.  We were
wondering what the large rectangular tank was that hangs down between the
frame rails.  Is that the fuel tank; if what's the capacity?  Or is it a
part of the cooling water system?

See ya,  Arnie
