    Huh, is that possible or common? I have been to a few car fires, usually older and /or modified. A few newer ones, but never hear the ultimate cause.

    Yep. Backfire through the carb, catch the air cleaner on fire and that catches the gas on fire and that catches the oil residue on fire, that catches the wiring...
    However, I was just being facetious.

    Yeah, I lost more than a few sets of eyebrows from carburetor's belching flames back in my face. It was part of working on cars before fuel injectors came along. You learned to move your face away from the opening before moving that throttle lever with your hand.

    Years ago we had a customer bragging how he bought the fist chevy electric car. About a month later when parked in his garage it burst into flames burning his garage, and part of his house down. Chit happens.

    I was thinking of commenting to people worried about getting their fuel tanks drilled to use a sheet of magnesium lol… I have no idea how one would get a sheet or if a thin enough would be enough. Though, if it started sparking when the thieves try to drill, it would be pretty priceless :bananadead:
