Great stuff! To think how such a little thing like a bumped or nicked fuel line could ignite such an event. I got two brurning car tales. My brother's wife's rental car ignited on the freeway on an overpass coming into SF from LA... The company tried to bill her for not returning the car... A work buddy of mine did his own fuel pump repair work to save money on his old work truck. He didn't get a hose clamp tight and he learned the international symbol for "HELP! MY CAR IS ON FIRE!", which is essentially standing in the middle of the street and jumping up and down a bunch while pointing at it... Ahhh… an incedible burning car tale….

I don't think they were known to catch fire. I think a different car was known for that. I've seen and heard about cars, vans and trucks catching fire. No one seems to know exactly why. There's no way to tell unless you can put it out so there's something left to look at. Well, my car definitely had its problems. I don’t think they were known to catch fire.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I later heard that the Horizon was notorious for catching fire. But who knows. It probably had something to do with how it was fixed or not fixed just prior to catching fire. It's a spooky thing to have happen. Mike & Gina: Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
