Still waiting for the more highly motivated and skilled among us to come up with a detector that would mount in the engine compartment, or on underside of the rear deck lid, that would monitor for flames, or an unusual increase in heat output. Obviously, the fuel needs to be cut off, and the occupants notified as soon as possible. By the time one sees the flames through the deck, or out the bottom, its probably too late. I know it could be done. Exactly how, is up for debate :-) John |
