I saw smoke from about a block away while on my way home.At my intersection of 75Th. and Macleod Tr. I found this... i grabbed my Fire extinguisher gave it to the NAPA guy who then proceeded to emptied it on the gasoline fulled fire. I called 911 then ran back to my truck to get my camera..

Also says that there was a fuel line feeding gas to the fire.

So this would be a recent engine replacement where they reused the fuel line instead of replacing it, it popped off and boom...

I believe the person filming ended up letting YouTube use their stabilizer feature to help correct the originals shaking.

The RX-8's Fusion reactor was emanating space-time bubbles, common issue around here

That really sucks... but the foamy stuff the firemen are spraying almost looks like they're washing it hah. @4:27

I always wonder how stuff like insurance would handle this scenario. Really sucks if it was actually due to a reman engine replacement with faulty fuel lines.
