Question, on a 01 Ram with the 318 v8, is all spark plugs easy to get to? My dads truck has almost 100k and I thought to save him money I would change them for him if he got plugs and wires. I done the plugs on my XJ and knew the rear plug was a little tricky to get to.

Plan on it tomorrow, but I am at work right now and figured someone here might have one.

Still didn't answer his question.
I see a burnt driver side quarter, some drippy lights... Jeeps don't burn because something was done right. Fuel leak?
If there is a valuable lesson that can be passed on to people building like style buggies, it would be good to know. IS there something that Tech Inspectors at
events need to look for to prevent the possibility of this happening at a Event?

I grimace a little bit extra about this right now. There was a kid here doing something really really stupid but close to this that just blew himself up and got his fiancee injured in the process. He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 85% of himself.
Just a really scary thought...

It was an accident with gas, nothing was at fault but human error.
If Dan wants to explain it he can.

Sounds like the wrong PPE for the job.

No he wasn't... He was found not guilty. No court ever found anyone innocent.
They are different....
Innocent means you didn't do it... Not guilty (should)mean it couldn't be proven that you did it. In Clinton's case... in meant he had more than enough 'true believers' on the committee hearing the evidence.

I know our tech inspectors and if anything didn't look safe, they wouldn't pass it. It was an unfortunate accident, that's all.

Diesel is flammable, but not highly volatile like gasoline. A small pocket of gas fumes mixed with air has all the power of a couple of M80's. I was soldering a gas tank in my basement. I had filled it full of water and was soldering away. Suddenly I see a flash, a very loud bang, and the very next bit I found myself all the way across the basement holding just the tank of the torch I was using. You know how comics show the black face and hair all blown back? Exactly what I looked like. Under the black soot and undercoating was a 3rd degree flash burn.
I was lucky. It only took weeks to scrub out all the rust and undercoating from my burnt face.

I stand corrected. But the poor choice of wording didn't change my meaning.

The NTSB has piles of statistics that show that there is always a string of decisions that lead one to the crash site. The end result is always an "unfortunate accident".
Just an observation.

there was no crash in this situation...i wasn't there but heres what i infer...
dans fuel system quit working...people tried to help fix it as would anyones friends if their rig quit working...while working with fuel, something sparked a fire. then people jumped in to help again and got the fire out fairly quick...thats all i need
gas is a dangerous substance, anytime you work on a fuel system its a dangerous task...i've had some close calls working on small engines and vehicles when fuel is involved. all i need to take away from the situation is a reminder to be careful when working around gas

The great thing about hindsight, is that it's always perfect. The bad thing about it, is that it's useless to those involved.

Who pooped in your cheerios dude? It's not like Dan thought to himself "hey I'm gonna set this up so it lights on fire and burns someone". Step off your pedestal and just let it go.

1 hour job on my ZJ including cap/rotor/wires. Ram should be half that since there is a ton more room underhood.
