One thing I'm not clear on. In the case of a Vanagon fire, such as the one in NY, and where the ignition is switched off quickly, is there a continuing supply of fuel from the tank? Seems like there was more to fuel that fire than there should have been. But then I haven't seen all that many engine fires (had one in a '61 Beetle but it didn't ignite the interior). //Jack
