Long ago I was driving up a long hill on a hot day in my vintage fabric saloon, and the engine seemed not to be at its bset so I stopped to investigate. The float chamber of the SU carburettor had loosened slightly and petrol was dripping straight onto the hot exhaust, giving a flash of flame with each drip. Left much longer, and having a gravity tank, I could have been driving a ball of flames. I did not have a fire extinguisher at the time, but I realised the possible value of having one.
