Folks...
1) No one "Pooped in my Cheerios".
2) I am NOT making a "Federal Case" out of anything, I asked a simple question ,2X now, followed by an observation.
3) I have been polite in the extreme.
At least 3 people asked the same question: "How did it happen", and what they meant by that was not where, but "Why". Simple enough to answer unless one has a reason to be sheepish about it, and best answered by the folks directly involved.
Hey, once the guy next to me in the pits started his car on fire. He just came off a run, changed his jets, and didn't mop up the gas. When he started the car without an air filter, it lit up. Helped him put it out and push it on the trailer. Things happen, but there is a REASON they happen. In his case, it was not respecting the fuel and making sure that it would not ignite if a spark happened. He was lucky, it only cost him a night of racing.
It appears that in this case, the result was a partially burnt vehicle and some burnt feet (Damn!)
I am bull dogish about people not giving me an honest answer to an honest question. I trouble shoot things for a living, and often if I pose a few polite and simple questions I can generate up a time line of conditions that caused the problem to "suddenly start". It saves time and effort chasing red herrings.
Mac, I hope our Wife get's better soon! Burns are not my favorite injury; they are painful when they happen and can be tender long afterwards.
Dan, I am sorry to have caused you any discomfort in coming out and posting what happened. You are right, you can't Tech for that, but there is a serous possibility that we can learn from your experience.
I have to say that this has been interesting.
