I almost burned my FD to the ground a few years ago. I was deflooding and forgot to pull the EGI fuse, thus the spark plug wires were still sparking. All the plugs were pulled and I was flushing the gas from the engine. Had a large towel to catch the fuel as I cranked.... Then.. WOOOSH, the towel goes up like a fuckin firework. It took about 20 seconds to spring to the fire extinguisher and put it out. Ultimately, a crispied pieces of harness and a little cleanup.

I was VERY lucky. My FD was in the garage when this happened. Ultimately, it could have burned my house down. I took a long break after that dumby move.....
