Just once: I heard of a guy who apparently only caught part of the old joke about checking the fuel level with a lighter, and he thought they were serious, so he tried it...I hear his funeral was nice.

(yes, I'm kidding!)

The only thing on fire in my 4Runner is me!

I thought this question was a joke until you posted the same thing in the 4th gen section too.

I also experience that problem , But it's just once.

Mine is burning around me right now, as I drive to work. Luckily, I'm getting close.

I posted this with my Blackberry, which - fortunately - is not burning.



p.s. - don't let your mother talk to that douche bag Nissan salesman again.

Toyotas do burst into flames.
I had a bad o-ring on the Holley carb in my '83.
Fuel leaking onto hot headers = engine fire

Once I flapped my hands really hard, and I lifted off the ground a little bit... thus, Humans can fly.:bat:

As long as you don't fly too close to the sun, you won't catch on fire.

Had my 93 catch on fire, when i opened the hood there was some old "heat repellent"? Type material hanging from my hood on fire, luckily it wasn't my engine.
