Had a small fire yesterday
Went out to start the Cobra yesterday and I heard a “pop” and saw a small flame coming out from the hood scoop. I opened the hood and found a fire a bit too large to put out without an extinguisher. Well the fire is out, no real damage to myself or the car but a heck of a mess.
It appears the braided fuel line has developed a hole from rubbing against the bracket for the expansion tank. As you can see by the photo the line is very close and must touch while on the road. Anyway before I replace this line and possibly see the problem again I wanted to see if any of you have some type of cure to separate the bracket and line.
I suggest you all take a look at your set up so you don’t run into the same scary problem I did.
