umm...


Need I say more?

This one has gas or something?

[sisterearth]

holy smokes that second one sounded like it had lots of mini explosions or something. wow 

[GostaBerling]

I'm gonna guess that the second bus had just filled up with Mexican gasoline before the fire. Toot-Toot

     I like the emergency fuel cut off idea.  That seems best.  You can do it even if your engine is just smoking and maybe avoid it bursting into flames when you open the hatch.  Cut off the gas and you have time to think...I want one.

I don't think that one will be saved . If they burn to the point that tires are popping and suspension bushings are melting, well their just gone. Replace fuel lines whenever you buy a Bus and thereafter every few years just do it again. Considering most, if not all of us, own our VW's outright. No monthly payments, no high cost new car insurance, low yearly excise tax ( for those that still have that WWII finance tax still in place ) the cost of yearly maintenance is a pittance in comparison. If you want to reduce your risk of fire, it's a small price to pay.
