Hi What's exactrly different about the fire engines to the normal one. I have a fiat Uno 1.0 i.e I don't think it's a fire engine, but i'm intrigued as to the differences.

Check if you have a rubber square Oil filler cap – If so, you have the FIRE.

Before the re-badge to 1.0 IE, the Uno 45 was available in 903 (OHV) or 999 (OHC) FIRE – both were carburettor versions. I reckon all 1.0IE unos are FIRE.

The non-fire was a 0.9 lol.

Mines definitely a 999cc i.e so I guess it's a fire!

Its the rubber square Oil filler cap gives it away.

Same goes for the Uno 60 1108 FIRE vs. 1116 non fire - here both are OHC.

Very old post but I need to clear this up. THE ENGINE WITH THE RUBBER FILLER IS THE NONE FIRE ENGINE, THE FIRE ENGINE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE TURBO WITH A ROUND SCREW IN OUL CAP, THE TIMING COVER IS YELLOW AND THE ROCKER COVER IS SLOPING DOWN WARD.

 

[bowdizle]

This is NOT a Fire engine.

Why not.. I am intrigued

 

[StevenRB45]

Me too..given I had both this engine in my Uno and the spi 1108 in the mk1 Punto both had the same rubber bung.

First fire I had with an actual cap was a 1.2 16v..

 

[jackwhoo]

I don't want to step on toes but ......I had a 999c fire engined 1988year panda that looked exactly like the photo - bar the aftermarket looking fuel pump and breakerless distributor.

 

[varesecrazy]

To me.. That Polish list is misleading,

As it lists several at 999cc and none at 903cc

I belive all 999cs are FIRE

EARLY had a camshaft driven fuel pump,
later this was blanked in the same casting with the ie Models having the more modern in tank fuel pump
