He was using aircraft stripper on his valve covers, and the valve covers were in a plastic bag that he had thrown away. It's assumed that there was some stripper that came in contact with that bag, one thing led to another and the plastic combusted in the garbage can in the garage.
Dan is genuinely for the success of the local automotive community. Aside from his role with Mods and Rods you will always see him around Midway and hanging out with the Mustang guys. He is the ONLY non-sport compact domestic owner who regularly comes to Minnesota Sport Compact meets in the summer. Great guy to talk to, it just sucks that something like this had to happen to him.
