Like a diesel vanagon positive battery cable rubbing on the oil filter
for 5,000 miles.
Zap, burnt a hole, caught the oil on fire ..then the plastic parts.
Fortunately extinguished quickly with not-that-bad damage.

there is a plastic clip that holds that battery cable to the battery
shelf on a DV ..if that's missing and the positive cable rubs on the oil
filter  =  bad news.  Taught me how much damage things rubbing on things
can do.
