120 seconds - no more retro.

Scary!

I once had a Range Rover go up, and the speed fire spreads and end smoke given off is amazingly scary.

Thought it was going to be this one, as its heart breaking seeing such a nice camper going up in flames

Most of the time one of those hand held fire extinguishers will do jack curse word. Worth carrying still to try and put it out but it usually wont work.

One of the comments on the vid i put up seems to suggest that the fuel filter leaks onto a hot carb, thus starting the fire.

How lucky we are that there is always some thoughtful passer by ready with their phone to record someone else's misfortune - and in the case of the second one above to record the poor guy trying to get his stuff out of his blazing van. Only a few minutes into the scene does he think to call the police. Great help.

When the helicopter came down in fog in London a few weeks ago there were apparently people running towards the scene, not to to try to assist, but to film the aftermath and get in the way of the rescue services.

I've posted them before and I shall continue to post these at every opportunity, don't think it can't happen to you. We think this was caused by a defective fuel pump, all the wiring was new.

Whilst we're on the subject of fires, remember if a underbonnet fire starts don't lift the bonnet. Pop it open on the catch and fire the extinguisher in through the gap. Same with a fire in the boot, keep it as closed as possible.
