Sorry to hear about your loss. Main thing is you're safe and sound.

Oh no... that's horrible. Good luck moving forward with new project... that's a lot of time, blood sweat and tears invested to lose so quickly. Very sorry to hear about it

Not sure if it was the case here but ethanol eats through the gas lines from the inside out so you can't see it degrading. Those little fire extinguishers do almost nothing but make a mess. Good luck and glad you weren't hurt.

I've had 2 small fires from oil leaks onto hot exhaust. Nothing more than a flame a little bigger than a Bic lighter, but if I didn't have my extinguisher with me, who knows what might have happened.

Sorry to see that pic - that absolutely sucks. I know everyone's right with "at least you weren't hurt", and that's true, but I can still imagine the heartache watching your baby go up in flames.
