Burn Notice...

!!!MAN!!!

Years ago I had only one piece of conventional fuel hose on my RR. I had braided line everyplace except for two inches of GATES BRAND fuel hose, which was only about 1 1/2 --2 years old at the time, between a metal fuel filter and the Holley.

Started the car to warm it up. Went out, got in the car, and started to drive off, smelled smoke, SAW smoke, and that hose had cracked and started to leak.

Sooted up under the hood some, and melted some of the ignition harness, but I was LUCKY. I I had been in the building for another 2-5 minutes, it would have been a smoldering pile of ashes.
