Re: Truck Fire!!!

I put new fuel lines on it when I got the truck. They weren't leaking. I pulled the motor and the trans today. Fuel lines were still in tact other than the one that runs to the carb. and that's because it was directly in the fire. That line was still very flexible and not stiff. so I'm having a hard time believing it was fuel related. I believe brake fluid is to blame. I didn't even think the stuff was that flammable. But when I pulled the motor there was a clear liquid that did not smell like gas that had pooled on the engine cross member. It has to be brake fluid it was too far away from the driver side to be power steering. I was sure I had leaking brakes on the front passenger side but I could not figure out where. I took it to 2 shops they both told me the rear driver wheel cylinder was leaking (which I already knew about). My plan was to redo all of the steel lines and the rear brakes.
