mike

 

That really sucks man.

Tell us the whole story.

 

Sorry about your MISFORTUNE..

Mod #3 after intake and Exhaust..
Should always be a FIRE extingisher.

 

Oops I forgot to mention.

Did your FD ever have the FUEL recall done to it?

And as for the FE lasting 3 seconds You need to get them checked on a regular basis and those $15 small ones are pretty useless I tried to put out a kitchen fire with one and ended up drowning it in flour/baking soda.

 

On a better note...if you had marshmellows and hotdogs it wouldn't have been so bad.

 

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that, its like loosing a loved one...

 

Damn, I feel your pain. I went through that with my TII.

 

This is why I carry 2 fire extinguishers, one for backup, and always check my fuel lines like a hawk. It was a small reason I preferred non-sequential simplification, and is also a reason I plan to go single turbo.

The rear rotor and the exhaust manifold are the main flash points in a fuel or coolant related fire.

Seriously, no screwing around when it comes to fire related type things:

Any recommendations on a good fire extinguisher?? size, type etc....?

That would suck!!!

 

where am I going to store a huge fire extinguisher now??

 

Chrome it, put it in the trunk, rip the lable off and write NOS on it

 

LOL dude you've got nazzzzz, now your ready to race VIN.
I bet the ricers wouldnt tell the diffrence.

 

You can store the exting. on the left side of the driver's floor (strapped down of course) if of medium/small size. Then store one in the trunk or storage compartments.

 

I almost had the same thing happen to me, when I went to GothamRacing my fuel pulsation damper went out and started shooting spurts of fuel under the intake manifold but luckily Steve caught-it before we went tuning. I could just imagine what could have happened.

 

this really blows was the cause found?

and no I'm not putting a fire extinguisher anywhere except from the back of the seats back. My storage bins are occupied for good! dammit if my car burned down I think Id lose it for a while

 

real sorry to hear this...you've been working hard to get a nice FD.

condolences.
