A bugger up with the wiring-read rats eating ecu wiring-caused an open injector , in turn filling up a cylinder with fuel..
I turn the key to start and and an almighty explosion rips the lhs downpipe off the manifold !
I had flames about 2 meters high and seriously spreading rather rapidly..!
I would love to have taken pictures of the fire and all the mad scrambling for extinguishers but I was rather pre occupied !!!
This is the second time Ive had a fire on a gtv6 ..The first was in my workshop 16 years ago and we emptied 3 extinguishers before that one was out..
Luckily this one was done with one only...
The saving grace here was closing the bonnet quickly and attacking the fire from below...
A day spent replacing burnt wiring and fixing the exhaust and the old girl fired straight up again...
One GTV6 30L alive after 8 years in storage again..
