FUEL TANKS INTERNAL
The internal fuel tanks for the M577A3 and M1068A3 carriers are mounted on the left and right sponsons with tables
on top of them. Both tanks supply diesel fuel to the engine through a single main fuel line. The shutoff valve is under the
rear floor plate.
FIXED FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
The fixed fire extinguisher releases CO² to quickly put out fires in the power plant compartment. It can be manually activated
by a control on the fire extinguisher bottle or by the handle on the carrier left top deck, on all M113A3 FOV vehicles. The
M58 has a second fixed fire extinguisher located on the right side of the vehicle to put out fires in the turbine compartment. It
can be manually activated by a control on the fire extinguisher bottle or by the handle on the carrier right top deck.
