    It smokes. It's in flames! It's your BMW on fire!!! Now outrun it like Vin Diesel.

    Hey everyone.

    I got this video on my Facebook from Auto Trader. I found the video on Youtube.

    I nearly had that happen to me once!

    An rubber fuel line split in my old VW Rabbit, and suddenly while stopped at the light I could smell gas. When the light changed I saw a trail of fuel on the road behind me! Immediately killed the engine and coasted to the side.

    I was thankful that (a) the leak happened low down, so no gas dripped on hot parts, and (b) that nobody flicked their cigarette on the road.

    Besides, it wouldn't have occurred to me to try to outrun the flames.
