You guys funny, I was at Chucke Cheese's for my lil sisters bday. That and stopping at pretty much every gas station, I went through a half a tank in 1 day lol

Will u be at the shop tomorrow? Gabe agreed to help me with the recircs, he said he'd learn to weld stainless by then haha

O&G · 04-20-2012, 09:55 PM

Yea, I'll be there. Helping Johnny move into his new house tomorrow. I need to get back on the dyno sometime soon so I can show you what WTQ looks like w/o a damn exhaust leak! RAWR! I'm actually looking forward to hearing your car with the Re-circ's, I bet it's going to sound sik!!!

Yesterday at the shop my METH line decided to burst and make fire, lucky I was on the dyno and not on the highway. I didn't have any damage, but if I were on the road, even my fire extinguisher would have been too late. My advice to anyone wanting to run methonal is use a braided line, my lines were no where near heat sources either :/ I got lucky! I'll be using the Snow Performance lines or doing a custom line setup in the future. This has happened to a few cars I know of using the AEM kit

the other cars didn't make it out as well as me!

Robert_K · 04-20-2012, 10:25 PM

Damn! Good save. Considering running meth myself. Glad I'm a fireman. LOL!!!!

Always good to have a fireman around!!! I have a few pics of the aftermath, my car was dusted!! Lucky some good guys were around to put it out right when it flared up.

When I was working at EG I always kept a fire extinguisher next to the dyno.

Seriously, Professionally speaking, find a "BC" class extinguisher. "BC" type is meant for fuel based fires. An "ABC" is more for under your kitchen sink/household extinguisher. I'd also recommend at least a 10 pound extinguisher near the dyno.

O&G · 04-20-2012, 10:43 PM

Yea, I think I have an ABC in my car, thanks for the info. I'm not sure what was by the Dyno but it was a big boy that put it out instantly, yellow/white looking dust?

No problem. Yellow/White sounds like an "ABC." Nothing wrong with them, as you saw, and works great. That powder is the chemical and is designed to remove the oxygen from the fire. You had engine heat and the meth was the fuel. So w/o the oxygen it was extinguished.

Let me know if you, or anyone else, has questions. Fire protection is something we all forget about.
