Well I must tell this. One day while driving to work my camper started to smoke, lots. This did not alarm me as it had done this before. I usual would go away after a while. And it did. But then just as I was pulling into the parking lot it started to smoke again. When I pulled into a space and got out, took a moment to look at the back end. A small gas/oil fire was burning in the hole of the muffler. Having not yet bought a fire extinguisher, I calmly walked into work, pointed to the nearest extiguisher and asked if it worked. It did and the bus was saved., will only mild heat damage to a a very rusty and holely muffler. Let this be a lesson to you people who need to rebuild you engine. Do it now before you bus burns.
