the brass nipple that goes intothe carb broke out and since i was coasting
the bus in gear gas was spraying everywhere...gas landed on the fuel filter
causing it to catch fire too so then gas was spraying before the pump and after
the pump...retap teh carb fix the wiring and i'll be back on the road in a week.

so i was trucking along on the interstate going to the local pick and
pull to get some parts for diana's car. bus was running great, next thing i
know it started missing a bit. so i moved over to the slow lane, i started to
smell gas so i slowly start moving over to the shoulder and next thing i know
the bus dies...i jerk it over onto the shoulder (coasting in 4th) look in my
rearview mirror and see nothing but blue smoke...blue smoke then turns to black
so i grab the fire extinguisher and i run to the back bus is boiling smoke. i
go to open the deck lid...deck lid is stuck so i shoot fire extinguisher stuff
down the fresh air vent on the side of the bus run to the other side get in the
currently burning bus and dig out a screwdriver pry open the decklid still
can't get it open so i pry up the corner of the lid and shoot inside the
corner...finally i get the lid open the compartment is still on fire in some
spots, mainly wiring so i shoot the remaining stuff in there and get it
out...now i call 911...tell them i am on fire...then i notice gas is spewing
everywhere so i pinch the line to hold it and sit there for like 10 minutes,
finally i call 911 back and tell them gas is spraying everywhere but i got the
fire out. the 911 lady tells me i need to calm down...i told her my shit was
just on fire and now gas is spraying everywhere unless i pinch the line which
is hot. she put me on hold then said they're on there way...i told her to tell
them to take there time cause it's out...finally the fire truck shows up and we
get the line stopped and i get the bus home.
here are the pics:
