WARNING: Holley Fre-Flo
WARNING:
The Holley Fre-Flo air cleaners are a fire hazard. http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...C/120-148.html This afternoon on the way home from college, my truck backfired through the carburetor and caught the foam element in the air cleaner on fire. If I had not had to stop for a red light then I might not have noticed it as soon as I did. It put a small spot on the outside of my hood where the paint got hot, and dripped into my carburetor. I am glad my fuel line didn't melt or I would have been in deep "stuff". I did not have a fire extenguisher, so I used a couple of towels on the air cleaner once I got it to the bed of my truck. The towels didn't do much except catch on fire themselves. I ended up going to a nearby restaurant to get some water to pour on the whole mess. Thankfully the truck still ran, and I was able to make it home without further incident. I wonder if I would have let it burn could I have sued Holley for the repairs? Just be aware that these Holley Fre-Flo will catch on fire.
