[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 583284, member: 13810"] Main thing is prevention as in fuel pipes and vents etc and that's all of them including little vent joints and filler pipes etc.. Anything slightly wrong and there will be a good smell of fuel. If you haven't got a good sense of smell then find someone who has and ask them regularly. Fuel shut off is next and then there shouldn't be any issues. Fire systems at best might extinguish a fire but mostly will just slow it down if fresh fuel is still seeping onto hot surfaces you have virtually no chance. I have a firetec but never used in anger. Ozziedog,,,,,,., good maintenance is key. [/QUOTE]
