I just had an engine fire. Car was warm pulled out and saw flames out the rear view mirror. My Element did not work. Next one did but did not stop fire. 40 year old fire extinguisher did the job!
What is the best solution for removing the extinguisher residue from the PMO carburetors and the engine? Could have been much worst! Saved the car! Matt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Matt,
You talking about the element that I see folks mount on the engine lid? The tube things? I might make that investment. -Dan |
