TRUCK CAuGHT ON FIRE

[Boggin]

my bronco that JUSTgot working today just caught on fire

i had her hooked up to my dads f150 for a boost and when i turned the key POOF fire everywhere, after i got the fire out i went to turn the key ahead see if it was the injectors and found my key on the pass floor under a pile of wrenchs and rags i guess i was shocked so much. anyways sure enought the little pump on the fuel rail squirts out every bit of gas she gets


oh yea and i jumped in my dads f150 slapped it in reverse and burned the tires right off without even unhooking the battery cables lol

so i got the garden hose and dad came with the fire extinguisher and after a while put it out.


dont seem to be too much damage i guess ill take the fuel rail part from thedonor vehicle and see if it works and hopefully nothing wrong, a few wires are melted off but nothing serious


afterwords:

and a pic of a pic on my phone lol

but it was way worse then that

Fire sucks! Time for a super cleaning, now. That extinguisher powder is super corrosive and is hard to wash off. Good luck.

If my vehicle was currently bursting into flames, the last thing I would do would be snap a cellphone picture.

Why were you boosting it with the F series? Bad alternator?

new alternator, bad battery

 

[koda6966]

Get a new battery. They don't cost THAT much.

IMO you should have in the first place, it's gonna cost so much more to have to replace everything destroyed.
