Does this mean that air cooled vanagons have a significantly higher engine fire rate? If so does this mean that I should pass on the nicely restored and overhauled-with-new-fuel-lines air-cooled that I've been looking at because it's a fire trap? Is there anything besides periodically replacing fuel lines and carrying a fire extinguisher that I should do? thanks, mac _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
