[DeTomaso] Car Fire

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Curt,

Our guest speaker at the Fun Rally last year, the carb specialist, took 
about 15 minutes to talk to us about nothing but Fuel lines.  He told us 
the fuels today are so destructive on fuel lines, you need to change 
them nearly every year.

I'm happy to hear you are safe and I'm anxious to understand what you 
find as a cause.

For everyone else... please, carry a fire extinguisher, you never know 
when you are someone else might need it.

So far so good, after about 20 mins. I started to smell gas, this ain't good, I need to pull over and see whats up, with that thought BOOM the car caught fire inches from the back of my head!!! Got the car stopped, (not going very fast) I was able to jump out with my fire extinguisher and with the help of a passer by and a second extinguisher get the fire out! All before the Fire Dept. showed up! At this point not sure what happened? But I can tell you that the bulk head doesn't keep the fire out of the passenger compartment for very long! All this took place in what seemed to be about 20/30 sec.?
