The fuel lines that run under the car are rubber flex hoses that go into hard lines past the firewall, those hoses are just about right above your catalytic converter, mounted only right above a hard plastic (shield)....on the age of these cars there is a good chance that rubber fuel line was dry-rotted, so you had a very small leak, maybe almost unnoticeable with the car off since you were on the highway and track, and hard driving it. you were pushing more fuel through it. (that is why you could smell the gasoline fumes before you saw flames).

    Your exhaust right there around the downpipe and the catalytic converter itself can heat up well enough especially hard driving it either at the track or on the highway, to ignite the fumes that were leaking from that fuel line, it wouldn't even have to be noticeable liquid gasoline "leak"... with enough fumes will cause it to ignite.

    I narrowly avoided this situation myself after driving home from work. a couple of hours after driving my car I went into the garage to get something and I smelt gasoline, alot of it...it smelt like a fucking lawnmower. I looked under my car and I only saw about a dime sized drop of gasoline on the floor, but it smelled like I just cut my lawn with it.

    I didnt even attempt to drive it...I got it towed to a lift to fix it. I am not saying everyone should freak out and get hardlines run all the way to the gas tank (I didnt, I just ordered a new line from the dealership), but next time you are under your car...might be worth checking them for dry rot.
    hmmm never thought about this. when this happened to my db8 it had over 200,000 miles on it. reps coming your way...

    Could have possible been an o-ring on your fuel rail going bad. Had it happen to my friends gsr...he just hit boost getting up to speed and gas went everywhere. Might have been more of a freak accident then anything else but just throwing it out there..

    Get it running again!

    this is also how im thinking it was the fuel lines UNDER the car, there is fire under his car...I know it could probably spread like that from rubber lines and whatever else....but if it would have started from the top of his engine...im not sure if there would be that much fire under the car. It looks like it started there, and spread to the engine bay. And his car isn't boosted it's a pretty stock configuration.

    He may never find out how it actually started, which sucks...because we will all never know how to prevent it in the future. except maybe keeping a fire extinguisher on your A-pillar like fast and furious to limit the damage

    Rebuild it. I don't see why you wouldn't. It might need a lot of shit but you shouldn't need a new motor or anything, just....well.....everything attached to it.

    Khris, I am so sorry.

    I was in shock when I looked into my rear view and saw you car on fire. You will come back and stronger. Let me know if you need anything.

    I think it was the fuel return hose bc outta all the fire extinguishers, bottles of water and stuff we poured on it the fire kept comming back form where the rubber hose connects to the metal line dwn by the fire wall. Im sure tha car can be and will be fixed, i just hate wondering "was there something i couldve done differently to prevent it or put it out?" I know theres nothing i couldve done but thats how my mind works. Just glad yawl got out bc i wouldve hate to have to peel the roof off ur shit with my bare hands....not on my shift.

    You already know we all got you on labor and spare parts so no sweat.

    And because im always mad at something:
    I want to give a big fuck you to the asshole with the white trans am with no bumpers that slowed down, revved his shit up and took off. What was ur point in doing so?

    I think the trans am lives around us because I think they frequent Barrett... Glad you guys are safe and I know the car will come back better than ever. If you need a helping hand let me know Khris.

    You guys forget that brake fluid is highly flammable, and judging on the location of the fire, as soon as it melted the brake fluid, clutch master cyl fluid containment units, there was nothing you can do...

    What perfect timing. Right after I read this post, I got a friend suggestion on Facebook of a picture of a white TransAm, with missing bumpers, at a dragstrip.

    Guy's name is Joshua Michael Bender. Link is to his FB. Have at it.
