Hello to everyone that has read or responded to this thread. First of all, I'm am not planning on blaming any of the manufacturers of the products that was involve in the fire. But after surveying the damage, the fire was mostly contained on the side of the field box where the gas can and the electric fuel pump was located. (The battery was located at the opposite end of the box.) I am not quite sure what ignited the fire, it could have been the fuel pump or the battery. But what I think might have happened, is that when I hooked up the line from the fuel can to the filling tube on the plane, I didn't disconnect the pressure line from the muffler to the fuel tank. This could have caused pressure buildup in the tank, which would not allow fuel to enter the fuel tank in plane, thus causing the line to blow off at the fuel pump. I just wanted to express my concern for safety so that this doesn't happen to anyone else. I will send pictures and a letter to the manufacturers because I believe that all hose connections containing fuel should have a locking system or a threaded type connection. I am just more thankful that it wasn't more serious than what it was. I wanted to express my concern for everybody to be safe.



I am not quite sure when the fuel line blew off the pump, the fuel started spraying and I don't know if it sprayed on the fuel pump itself or on the battery.
