Re: Truck Fire!!!

Guy's, he is a junior in high school, give him a break.

AAW is a good kit but if you can I would try and find a correct replacement unless you plan on rewiring the whole truck. It is not cheap, believe me, I have looked it up.


Changing the rubber fuel lines is a great idea. These older vehicles could have issues with the newer fuel. They do make a metal fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the carb. If your truck has does not have this you might want to change to the metal line.

I have run the plastic and glass filters for years and never had an issue. Maybe I have just been lucky. But installing a newer/better filter is a great idea also.

Just be thankful your truck did not burn to the ground. And yes, I would go thank the fire fighters. Maybe bring them a couple dozen doughnuts or something.
