Very sorry to hear of your loss. A common reason that Type 1 VW engines
catches on fire the fuel line sitting on top of the generator. Spark near fuel is
never as good thing to have. A simple thing such as a missing generator access
panel cover or a missing hose clamp from the fuel filter is sure trouble.
