I cleaned the fuel filter on my '67 two weeks ago and after cranking the engine the first time I noticed flames in the engine compartment (didn't get it back on securely). Lucky I still had the hood up or I might not have caught it in time. I had a fire extinguisher mounted in the car port, but FORGOT about it in my heightened state of panic. Grabbed a water hose and doused it good. Truck wouldn't start for a week, but is running fine now -- got something wet that I shouldn't have. I'm off to the store to get some in-truck extinguishers...
