B MACK Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This was the 2000 T800 I drove until a year and a half ago. WAS a real good truck. Not sure what happened? 20 miles north of town. Fire ex's didn't faze it, first to the seen where local farmers, then our water trucks and then local fire dept. Could have been another real bad range fire in Montana.

Timmyb Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 C15? I know locally a few of them blow the return fuel line out of back of head and put hot fuel onto hot exhaust. They go up pretty quick.

Talked to our mechanic, and that is what he believes happened.

HeavyGunner Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Dang, you guys were real lucky there wasn't much of a wind or you'd have burnt up Montana and North Dakota Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

fxfymn Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Quote looks like fuel tank is melted. the fire had diesel fuel at its disposal Tank on the left was probably empty, at least to the melt line, and that is why it melted; tank on right was probably full. I'd count that as a save since the hood ornament didn't burn up. Glad everyone is OK and it didn't spread. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

BillyT Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not good! Lucky you weren't on the interstate! I don't know how Montana is about "toxic spills",one of my bosses lost a nearly empty rs fuel tank on a Navistar Cabover,it rolled onto the shoulder and spilled less than a gallon! Connecticut fined him 4000.00! His trucks were well maintained, but s..t happens!😁 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50597-hot-t800/#findComment-376266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
