Somewhere between his house in Kirkland and on his way to work on Queen Anne. He wasn't specific. I'll try to get more details but he said the flames were 15+ feet high (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Well, you can see what looks like the gas tank laying about 10 feet in front of the car just at the right edge of the picture. They may have wanted to get that out of the way.

Heartbreaking!
It does serve as a reminder though (not sure it was the cause in this case). Have YOU replaced your fuel lines sometime in the last 40 years? |

The owner said he pulled the tank out to stop the fuel flow. Sounds like fuel leaked some how either before or after the fire started. Sad because he just got it back on the road not too long ago. |

Damn that makes my head hurt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Hate to see a 914 go that way. Saw a 911 go that way on the side of the freeway once. Horrible thing to see. Especially when you've put so much into it. Absolutely horrible to watch your hard work burn up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
