"From what i can see, the "o"ring on no 1 injector blew out, the old girl waqs goin well, then lost power, looked at the fuel pressure gauge and it had dropped massively, a quick smell of fuel then bang!! It nearly blew the bonnet off, massive flames from both sides of the bonnet, had flames in side as well!! My brother-in-law was taken to hospital with slight burns to face and arms while trying to put it out with our hand held extinguishers, he is ok but has no eyebrows, or eyelashes!! The arms on his fleese have melted!! I got a little bit but nothing like him! "
