Mark said the turbo exploded and took out the fuel lines and electronics, which made the pumps go wide open. Air shutoff wouldnt have done jack.

Uh yeah it would if installed right before the intake pipe to the Y bridge. Unless the intake manifold was damaged also. Which it sounds like may have happened. But that’s the whole point of it.

Remove a component from the fire triangle and the fire goes out.

Yes it was a pretty crazy weekend that I will soon not forget even if I wanted too. The lowest of low coupled with the highest of highs. It was unfortunately a perfect storm and the only thing that would have made it better would have been an electronic fuel supply shut off or an injectable fire suppressant system like Brett installed on his truck since his fire 2 years ago. I'm just glad the lord was looking out for me and I was able to walk away.

Perfect storm is right, glad you guys are ok :thumb:

If it took out the intake manifold, would you even be able to inject enough suppressant to stop it?

Glad to hear you crawled out of there okay mark! On a side note. they make special fire extinguishers I’ve been seeing lately at big motor sport events that are awesome. I have forgotten the name, I was gonna buy one till I found out there were about 700 bucks. That shit from your standard abc extinguisher gets all over the engine and everything and it is a pain in the ass to clean up! I’m actually cleaning up some tonight still from a fire last year lol

Ansul and Kidde make automated foam and dry chem mix systems that I’ve seen put out runaway engine fires similar to how this one started on 60 litre Cummins engines in our mine haul trucks so they can put out a big engine fire and kill it. Downside is the weight of the bottles and plumbing needed to have enough product to be effective. May not be practical in a drag vehicle.

We got the official results. Buddy Nates Duramax took 3rd in the qualifier. Should have been 2nd but they let a dodge rehook after breaking a u-joint. Since he had more points then the 10th place UCC competitor he will get a invite for next years UCC. His truck did vary well for a true street truck (still has radio also). Ran a 6.00 with a allison :D. We both believe it has 5s in it. Hopefully he switches to Mark's tuning soon cause his current tuning is way outdated.

Merged 2004's explosion video thread with the main UCC thread.


Big to-do on CompD about it in the "UCC results" thread there.
