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) |

Sorry to see this ,well done on the quick action to put the fire out,little comfort to you but could have been a hell of a lot worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Looks like the LH side carb may have flooded and ignited with a back fire,did the filter melt ?,only asking as have carbed 6 and I'am sure that from your bad experience others would be interested to know . Hope you get it sorted ,cheers. |
