THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE AN INADEQUATE SEAL AT THE CONNECTION, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO A FUEL LEAK. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.

im not 100% sure, But I think I replaced the stock with a fram like two days before I tried starting it up, then the fire happened..

did the fire start at your fuel filter?

started on the passanger side of the manifold, Not sure where(front or back), but When I put it out, It was all the way by the fuel filter.

FILTER WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO HONEYWELL'S SPECIFICATION.

READ: Our cheap asses went overseas and we got what we deserve for not taking adequate steps during QC.

You had fire under the whole car? I thought it was just in your engine bay?
