(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Sadly, I spotted on an IG site called "onlyinglendale". Their latest reel has a late model red 914 with painted sails and 4 lug Fuchs burning down on Brand Blvd.
![]() ![]() Anyone on here know about the car or the owner? Car looked to be nicely painted and well maintained, appearance wise except for the 3' flames coming out of the engine bay and the interior. |

I am sorry to see another fire…..hope all involved are ok. Looks like a nice car. A reminder our cars are old and most need updates to most if not all systems. Brakes, electrical, fuel systems etc, etc…

Sad to see. You have to check your wiring and update your fuel lines. Definitely SS lines in the tunnel.

Yikes.
And check that injectors aren't leaking - especially if it's sat for a while. @Montreal914 - this is your hood, right? all good? |

Yes, close to my work area, but it’s not me. Car is still on restoration jig which itself is on jack stands… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) far from being back on the road.
Extremely sad to see these fires that seem to be posted more frequently for the past little while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Everyone, should ask himself, when was the last time I replaced these various rubber hoses? Let’s check these clamps to make sure I don’t have any of the gear type, are any of them loose… |

That red 914 engulfed in a fire is gutwrenching.
I'm going through my air cooleds' right now with new upgraded PTFE fuel lines for this very reason. Just had all these (original) fuel lines pulled out of the '79 930>> low (11,250) orig miles and all non-ferrous fuel lines were hard + cracking. Get your old fuel lines into the dumpster and keep your investment safe ! ![]() |

Looked like a nice 914. Reminds me to check extinguishers in my Bug and 914. |

I've mentioned this before and this seems like a good time to repeat myself. If your running Gates Barricade fuel hose, check your hose clamps every 9-12 months. They loosen with time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've seen and met this guy. Can't remember his name. He goes to all the So Cal VW Events and hangs out with the SDR VW Club in Pasadena...
That's too bad... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Good idea to check in general, but I'm curious, why would they loosen up more readily when using Gates fuel line? (I just replaced all my fuel lines with Gates.) |

I changed all fuel lines with Gates Barricade and installed Tangerine racing SS fuel lines in the tunnel. Even made elbows for the injectors using Barricade fuel line.. I just checked all the clamps after over a year, all tight.
