Just sayin.............

OP's insurance company may make restitution and we may never know the reason it happened. It's a possibility.........
It is possible, but based on the OP's original post, as well as posts in the Flex Fuel thread, it sounds like Visconti has been a nightmare to deal with. No matter what, it sounds like this is one vendor to avoid.....

Well I think the fire is just an entry point into what is now ft86club's most active vendor feedback thread. Mods may have to move this to the appropriate section.
