Re: This is why you need to carry a Fire Extinguisher in your truck + have Good Insur
I've been carrying extinguishers in my vehicles ever since I thought they looked cool mounted in a 4wd, just like a tach or a Kelite (became Magnalite). Then came the vehicles gaining value and the realization they could be saved from being gone in a flash.
My buddy had an intake and carb installed on his '79 K/20 in '83 and they installed a glass fuel filter. It was able to vibrate (rubber line) and connect the glass to hard metal causing a fire that destroyed one of the coolest Squarebody K20s on the planet to this day. That's when I learned no go for glass filters. As far as rubber fuel line goes, it can be used, but you have to realizes it is not permanent. Check upon all, service intervals and never run same line more than a few years.
