If you have a nice vanagon and dont absolutely know beyond the shadow of a
doubt that your fuel lines are 100% about the only things you can do as a
precaution are:
1. carry a really good fire extinguisher.
2. Get a sheet metal plate for the rear engine hatch area to cover the
fiberglass engine cover.
3. use a metal engine cover from an older vanagon.
4. find a nomex blanket to use over the rear engine cover.
