In addition to the call for fire ext. ,this should serve as a wake-up call to evaluate the cars for sources of potential failures---of course nylon lines are unacceptable for plumbing of any type(in my opinion) and any other lines should be pressure checked--and all components must be compatible--hardware store and AN fittings do not mix---
A cobra with all the external lines to remote coolers and filters has multiple potential sources for failure and the 1800 degree headers are an ignition source for anything flammable--
In the various cars that I have seen come thru this shop, the plumbing is an area of major concern as is the e;ectric fuel pump wiring and lack of a total electrical shutoff--not lack of shutoff but that it wasn't a total shutoff!!!
So - Please--take a look at your cars, and your buddies car--if you see areas of concern, speak up--and don't be offended if someone else points out an area of shortcoming in your build--they are probably doing it because they care about you
