Default Re: Important Safety Notice

GR8racingfool,

The reason the fire was worse in the back was due to the fuel lines melting and spraying the firewall and such. I bought one of these burn cars about 6 months ago. Once the fuel line melted, all hell broke loose. looks like the owner of that Regal ran once they saw the flames. Mine was not quite so bad.

In all honesty, there is some slight oil build up on the front head, but I have seen much-much worse on a L76 that never has ever caught fire. I guess this was the "1 in 1000" that caught fire. But what gets me...is the hood damage...If the fire was up front...wouldn't more of the front of the car be damaged...rather than the back side of the engine area? Hummmmm.........
