One "Hot" Hatch

[niky]

What a damn shame...

RE: Fire extinguishers: most fire extinguishers are rated for chemical fires, but once fuel starts burning, it's too much for a mere handheld extinguisher... there simply isn't enough "juice" in a handheld to deal with a fire like that.

With our home fire before, my brother used up three extinguishers but wasn't able to stop it... once a fire gets hot enough, you have no choice but to get the hell out of there...

and for those who thinks having a fire extinguisher as a standard feature makes no sense.....


...think again!

p.s i still love the Clio Sport V6. its small and fun siguro. Mid engine pa! pero sayang yung magwheels nun ah...ganda pa naman.

[theveed]

Dang, must be a leaking tank or something... Sayang nga, dapat linublob nila sa ilog hehe.

[niky]

Hehe... the extinguisher is only there to help suppress the fire till you can get away. But seeing that... I'm having second thoughts about the size of my extinguisher. It's a refillable one, yes, but it's too small to do anything but slow down a fire like that for a few seconds.

[ssaloon]

covered ba ng warranty ng dealership yan? hehehe

[mdc]

what a waste good car pa naman

[jasprit]

sayang ang kotse!

OT naalala ko nung nasunog volkswagen ko, almost ended up the same. nag leak yung carburator w/c was next to the ignition coil (stupid design imho). buti na lang may napadaan na naka volks din and had the right idea of taking out my gas tank w/c was at full tank level at that time. napatay lang sunog nung may nakuha nakong fire truck... traumatic but it was a learning experience for me.


sayang nga yung car... malamang fuel leak yan na naging uncontrollable. the only thing that can stop a gas fire are foam type fire extinguishers. at saka yung CO2 gas fire extinguishers. ewan lang kung available yan sa mga hardware shops like ace hardware.

sana 'wag na siya makarating sa pinas, mahuhuli yan ng MMDA, smoke belcher

[empy]

sayang talaga. one of my fave cars too

[finchy18]

oh my .. oh my...



hayy sana comprehensive insurance.. tsk!

anong nangyari ka bago bago pa nman..

[Mamar]

anu nangyari sa driver?? sayang naman! tsk tsk tsk

[niky]

The driver got out. Looks like the fire didn't blossom right away.

And: That'd be coverable under warranty as long as it's a stock car... I doubt it'd be easy to get mods for the V6, anyway... and I wouldn't want to fiddle with such a tightly packed engine...

But if the guy had stuff as simple as headers, it would probably be void... they could argue that the headers had made the bay too hot and melted the fuel lines and electrical wires. Unless we know the full specifics, it's hard to tell what happened.
