Depends how reliable an answer you want.  Everything you've heard
here about fuel lines, the bulkhead connector etc. is true and
verified -- except the specific connection to specific actual
fires.  Generally speaking when an engine catches fire you're too
busy either fighting it or leaving to worry much about what happened;
and afterwards there's likely not a lot left, nor any fire dept
interested in putting effort into forensics -- the car burnt, they
put out the remains, end of story.
