POPPY COCK!!!!! what a crock,,,ok lets put the fuel pumps outside the tank,
Where should we put the fuel Sending unit???? Ever thought maybe the person working on the car didnt know what they were doing???? I wonder if maybe they were using a drop lite next to the tank to see what they were doing and maybe the pressurized fuel hit the bulb and ignited the fuel? Mcdonalds got sued for having coffee scold someone, coffee has been hot for how many yrs??? should me make coffee cold now Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech "Nomen Nescio" > wrote in message ... A Google search found two serious fires, happening on the same day, one fire causing death and the other perhaps a million dollars damage as a result of servicing in-the-tank fuel pumps. Had these fuel pumps been placed externally, as the usual and proven practice for more than 70 years, these accidents would have been prevented. Legislation is badly needed to address this serious design deficiency as professional mechanics as well as amateurs are exposed to deadly danger by a totally unnecessary fuel system configuration. In the meantime, lawyers should file a class action as all manufacturers are currently using dangerous in-tank pumps and millions of cars are affected. This suit is worth billions and billions. At the very least, all cars should be retrofitted with new tanks and external pumps by mechanics wearing fire suits and guarded by fire crews. The changeover will save hundreds of lives and much damages while costing much deserved hundreds of millions of dollars of expense to the responsible capitalist titans, all of whom are totally devoid of industrial ethics. News Story One: Thursday, October 28, 2004 · Last updated 4:11 a.m. PT Inhalation of toxins blamed for Des Moines fire death THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Wash. -- A man who died in a garage fire after gasoline spilled out of a truck that was being repaired died partly from inhaling toxic fumes, investigators said. David E. Russ, 61, identified Wednesday as the dead man, also had burns on more than 90 percent of his body, investigators in the King County medical examiner's office said. Russ and two other men was trying to replace the fuel pump on a pickup truck Monday when the leaking fuel caught fire as the trio tried to push the truck out of a detached garage. All three ran outside, but Russ went back in and was trapped when the roof collapsed, Fire Battalion Chief Victor Pennington said. News Story Two: Local auto dealership heavily damaged in fire By Virgil Cochran Lamar Daily News Thursday, October 28, 2004 - Tri-County Ford on Highway 50-287 north of Lamar was severely damaged by a midmorning fire yesterday, but the manager Jeff Travis said the business will be up and running again in just a few days. Travis and Prowers County Rural Fire Chief Marvin Rosencrans said the fire began when mechanics were attempting to drain a fuel tank on a vehicle in the mechanic shop to replace a fuel pump. A fuel transfer pump developed an electrical short, which triggered the blaze. It rapidly engulfed the shop area of the building, but everyone managed to get out safely, Travis said. Tri-County will have temporary office trailers set up on the lot by next week, Travis said, and will be open for sales of new and used vehicles. In the meantime, all automobiles for sale will remain on the lot, and customers are welcome to drop by and shop, and even negotiate deals. But the business won't be able to finalize deals until the temporary offices are set up and computer equipment is up and running again next week. Travis said Tri-County is also negotiating for temporary headquarters for its mechanic shops, but it may be a few more days before the shop functions of the business are up and running. Eight cars in the service area were destroyed and the service garage itself was heavily damaged if not totally destroyed, but Rosencrans said damage to the office and parts storage area was limited to mostly smoke and water damage. Local firefighters were called to the scene about 10:40 a.m. yesterday, and the Prowers Rural Fire Department was assisted by the Lamar, Wiley, and Holly Fire Departments. As for the existing building, Travis said the business was well insured and that he would meet with insurance adjusters sometime today. |
