Default RE: fire

"You should file a claim" <--- BAD BAD BAD

Here's the deal, we voluntarily play with *very* flamable fuels and electrics with and around each other...therefore we accept responsibility when something breaks...perfect example of life in an overly litigious society.... LET IT GO

Explain to me how the importer is to blame? or the person that sold it? or even the manufactuerer....do we blame the pump people or the hose people (the host failed, not the pump), or the gas people...or the ones who made the fire extinguisher that didnt suit this application?

People need to realize that crap happens, and most of the time...nobody is a fault...

I was talking to a gentleman just 3 days ago that has lost his HOUSE AND CARS to pay for a lawsuit because a kid climbed an 8ft fence and drowned in his pool when he wasnt home....another great example....

Madman, you seem to have the right attitude..."stuff happens" and your right...it sucks that it killed your TX...but i think that anyone would understand that Nitromethane might act up if you expose it to an open spark (turn on one of those pumps in the dark, you can see the light from the sparks in the motors), and its good that your not moneyhungry or overzealous about finding a single entity to blame, and have not forgone placing a little blame on yourself, good man....
