Re: Fire!!!!

Last year at Fun Ford Weekend in Dallas some guys were having fuel line issues with a Cobra. After thinking they had fixed the leak they left the Texas Motorplex and went out on the highway to make a couple of quick pulls to check it out. While in the middle of a high speed pull the fuel line spewed fuel all over the engine compartment and the car burst into flames. Before they could get the car stopped the fire had engulfed the car. The driver and the passenger didn't make it.

When dealing with flamable fluids in your car, don't cut corners.

Always, and I mean ALWAYS keep an extinguisher with you. They're ~$10-15 bucks and it could save your car, or your life.

You were lucky, count your blessings.


















Oh yeah, you gotz to be a stuuuuupid mother fucker to use rubber hose to feed a turbo.
