<< reports as to why the fire started, just that "...my van caught on

 were both my fault; I left the air cleaner off a misbehaving VW carb,
 and another when the coil wire smoked after being directly hooked to the
 battery.  Again I ask WUTZ-UP with all the VW fires?
  Are the fires  gas / oil  or electrical in nature? >>




mostly gas....fuel injected....rubber fuel lines burst and spray gas all over
the hot engine.
