Well now, Would not suprise me if the fuel pump relay stuck and since itis in a plastic case and mounted in plastic that started the fire and vary well could have been because of tomuch draw from the fuel pump . A few years back i was delivering a tractor to a farmer and the fuel pump relay stuck on my 88 ford 350 and caught fire and we were there tryen to put it out as i had just had a ton of work done on that truck by a Ford dealer and realy did like it , if my buddy was not along we would have lost the truck and a vary good chance that it would have taken the farmers dairy barn with it as it was REAL close to the barn and milk house . If my buddy would not have cut the pos. battey cable we would not have been able to get it out as the fire was getting real close to the fuel lines , every time i would think we had it out while the battey was still hooked up she would restart and the fuel pumps were running and on a 460 she carried over 40 lbs of fuel pressure . That littel fire cost almost 8000 to fix the damage .
