[QUOTE="ZedBed, post: 293872, member: 8054"] That's a bit harsh Lynn! It's possible to get a burnable leak even if you float in the carb gets jammed open - I've seen petrol fairly peeing out of worn spindles in this case. Sometimes the unexpected can get you. I'm paranoid and use marine grade hose. It's a bit more expensive, but still cheap as chips compared to a fire. Very sorry to hear of your tradgedy DreadyBird. :( If anyone wants to read advice from a fireman who has successfully doused an engine fire in his own van, pop over to JK and read Oilybay's sticky.
