I was reading a June post on a poor fellow that lost his bug to a fire, and it got me to thinking(oops, is a blonde supposed to do that?) I fly small planes and they all have a fuel shut off valve for obvious safety reasons. It seems like one of these, say close to the shifter, would do the trick to keep this kind of fire from growing out of control by gravity fed fuel from a ruptured line. Has anyone ever seen or done this in their ride?
Ofcourse prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I have listened to my local gurus and replace my rubber fuel lines yearly, plus I use hose clamps at all connection points. Cheap piece of mind...
