Car on Fire Yesterday in the news I saw that an Opel Corsa caught fire on Western Express Highway - Near Santacruz in Mumbai. I have witnessed one such incident where M800 was on fire on Mumbai Nasik highway. Luckly all the passengers were out on the road.
Couple of years back, one of my friend's car caught fire at 5 Gardens. I think it was Palio.
What could be the reason for these cars catching fire all of a sudden? If it is short circuit, can we not have self extinguishing, jelly filled wiring for the car?
When we are dealing with more and more electical componens, like electric fuel pump, fuel injection, slightest of the short circuit can cause a spark and then BOOM.
What are the precautions one should take as a routine maintenance to avoide such a disaster.
