It looks like the engine caught fire and not the Little Giant?
Yeah Probably just engine. It just seem the one i hear about tm getting caught on fire is non hx tm. The other is oil leaking air cool motor can catch fire.

I literally saw a riding lawn mower have burst into flame under the seat last week. The guy was okay tho.

I try to keep my TM clean and fully clear. I hope it doesn't happen to me

I ran dozens of TM's since the early 70's and never had a fire. Propane heaters for the first decade or more.

A fire is pretty rare considering how many units are out there running.

Where's Bill Bane when you need him

who's got the pics of that dude out in Ca that blew up hit truck due to faulty(or no) pressure relief valve on a HX'er ?

It was pretty devastating


Most engine fires are due to fuel/gas leaks, Derrick.
Not so much oil drips

True, oil is ignitable at 500 degrees tho. That why i thought this was gas related fire. I wasnt sure if it was engine or little giant or combination.

Keep your fuel lines tight and replace them once in a while.
