Chris,

Yes, that was me that brought and demonstrated the IR fire detector.  I had
it mounted in a metal project box on the hot side of my engine, but it
failed shortly thereafter.  My guess is the UVtron photo tube failed.
 Replacement sensors were $28/ea at the time, so it has been sitting on the
shelf waiting for some time to mess with it again.

Since I experimented with the first one, the design has been upgraded and
the old model is no longer available.  You can purchase the whole kit for
$89 at  http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R345-UVTRON-PKG.html .  Just
mount it in a robust box with a hole facing the engine and wire it to 12 -
24 volts.  You'll want to put an LED on the panel to warn you in case of
fire.
