VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted October 14, 2011 i can imagine, iv been doing some welding on my car recently and the thought of a fire breaking out is so scary because most of the time its behind a panel so you cannot get to it! so how do you put out a fire you cant get to? starve it of oxygen i guess, but you know what i mean, got a fire extinguiser etc etc but its still prety scary for me anyways, i allways stay for an hour or so after my last weld to make sure theres no smoke still and even then im still paranoid!! can never be to careful, but still think of all the places a mouse could get to in your car and you couldnt? was it an engine bay fire ?
