Why do we assume that all engine fires start out as a fuel hose problem? I can think of a number of other things to get a fire started. Electrical, especially the alternator, oil leak, extreme overheating of the engine or automatic tranny, etc. Over the years I have seen a number of fuel leaks that did not catch fire. I'm not saying don't maintain the fuel lines but let's not blame them for all fires.
