I have one now. About a month ago, I was backing out of the driveway when I heard a pop under the hood. I looked into my rear facing hood scoop and saw smoke. I didn't think much about it, just thought it was a backfire. Next thing I see is a glow coming from the same area. As I said, I just happen to still be in the driveway so I jump out, pull the hood pins, raised the hood. Sure enough there is fire on the front of the engine. I run to the garage grab the extinguisher, run back and empty about half the contents but the fire will not go out. I realize the Bronco is still running and pumping gas out of the new found hole in the gas line. I run around, shut the Bronco off, run back around and finish putting out the fire. I now have an extinguisher in all my vehicles.
Lesson 1, have an extinguisher available, lesson 2, shut the vehicle off, lesson 3, do something else to entertain the neighbors (once the fire was out, they had a pretty good laugh telling me that they had never seen a fat (I’d say slightly plump) guy run so fast).
