I am a true believer after watching a friend catch his hair and the the vehicle on which he was working, on fire. He was de-bugging a carb problem. When he noticed the fuel leak he had time to turn his head before it went "poof". Lucky for him I had a rag in my hands and I just wrapped in around his
head. Unfortunately for his 67 Impala we had to run into the house for an extinguisher. The engine and engine bay got fried pretty good.

I will never ever be without an extinguisher on a carb'd vehicle.
