I had a small engine fire the other day - don't worry, the Jeep will be fine. Although I now need some parts, mainly the wiring harness for the fuel injection and associated stuff. It looks repairable, and I will go that route if need be, but some of the sensors and end devices will need to be replaced.
I did a cursory Google search for the harness and found a few, but I'd rather buy from family here first. The rest of the stuff I can get from flaps* - unless someone here has it.
Anyway, not sure what the cause of the fire was, and I have not looked at it in depth yet, but I am suspecting a possible fuel leak. A gentleman who pulled up behind me when I stopped said I had 4 foot of flame coming out from underneath while driving. I stopped cuz I thought the cherry fell of my cigarette and down in between the seats, but as soon as I stopped the cab filled with smoke rapidly, which was my first indication that it was something a bit more than a cigarette cherry. Still a great day, praise God.
Anymore, if anyone has a harness or associated parts please let me know.
