Thats because ALL Voith habit comes as same system as the ZF 2nd batch habits. The batch 1 ZFs might have a slight difference in its fuel system. PM me if you are more interested in this details, i can tell you more, but i cant guarantee that info is 100% correct.
The investigation report of 1110S stated that its fuel system has a leakage. The diesel caught fire and that sparked off the blaze. TIB541M has fuel injector leakage before. During its repair the mechanic mentioned that the entire floor cover is covered in diesel. Thankfully it didnt catch fire. This info was passed to me by a BC after i told him that his bus stank of fuel vapour.
There are some Habits the enterior stank with smelly fuel vapour as well.

THIRTY-TWO passengers, including foreign tourists, were hurt when a Night Safari bus hit an SBS double-decker on Selegie Road on Tuesday morning.
The injured passengers were sent to Singapore General Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Alexandra Hospital.
Eyewitnesses said the accident happened at a bus stop in front of a 7-11 store and next to the Fragrance Hotel at about 10am.
Mr Supaya Michael, 46, who was standing outside the convenience store, said he heard a loud crash, followed by shattering of glass.
He said the SBS bus had to swerve out of the bus lane to drop two passengers as the bus bay was blocked by two waiting taxis.
As it was moving out, it was hit by an oncoming Night Safari bus carrying more than 20 passengers. The SBS bus - Service No. 56 - then mounted a kerb, slammed into a tree and smashed the railing. It also brought down a signpost. -

why were the taxis in the BUS BAY in the first place? it's because of this inconsiderate taxi drivers that park in the unrespective places causing the bus to move out and now it has finally happened; the big accident. -

I believe there isn't a bus bay in question for that stretch of road.But it is vital that bus drivers look out for the traffic behind before joining the main traffic.
Anyway like what I posted in the other thread, the bus involved is likely to be 9489R based on the photos that the stomper uploaded, but remains to be confirmed.

i watched it in the news just now after sch and so surprised to see this

not exactly lol.They have a higher risk of catching fire due to their powerplant being more powerful.

ok, thanks for clarifying. though 9489R is my least favourite VO3X in 56's fleet, I do feel sad for it, cuz I always see this bus more then my favourite 9615T and the othr 2.... -
it is 9489. i was hoping the slip gear 9615 or used to gear slip 9638 was the one in the accident. 9489 is one of the best AM VO3x. 9615 and 9638 condition jialat. 9668 often does full acceleration. all the 56 VO3x all sot sot 1 except 9489.
ADD: Bus looks repairable.

aww... i though it was SBS9668R
