Re: [T3] Squareback Fire


Really sorry to hear about this.  At least you were able to give it a shot
with a fire extinguisher

One BIG fire hazard is fuel lines on the fuel injected cars.  They should be
replaced every 10 years, more often if you use the OE type cloth covered
ones.  The ones on the injectors themselves are particularly suceptable and
most folks dont replace them as they are crimped in place.  A gas leak in a
pressurized system would be very hard to put out indeed.
