[QUOTE="72baywesty, post: 583544, member: 18334"] All true. However. Looks like ours was probably fuel. All new ethanol resistant hoses, all new clips, fuel filter under tank, all breathers replaced with solid/ethanol resistant hose Van was completely rewired whilst been restored. All work carried out within 100 miles of the fire. Van had just been mot'd(day before) There was no smell of petrol and no hint of a problem until I pulled up. By which point it was burning merrily. I would wholeheartedly recommend aircooled works system as it killed the fire dead... if it hadnt then the van would now be a write off as the nearest firestation is about 15 minutes away.. Either way fit an suppression system because it can and possibly will happen to you [/QUOTE]
