Subject:      Re: Another Vanagon Burns Up

I remember one of the list member's Vanagon burning last fall, and she had
installed a metal engine lid.  She said the flames went up the vents and
the metal engine lid did not seem to give any additional protection.  From
the pictures of this recent fire looks like the fiberglass lid was not an
issue.  I was originally on the look out for a metal engine lid but seems
like no real advantage in terms of fire containement.  Anyone have any
experience to the contrary?
