99.9% cause of fire was your old, cracked, long overdue for replacement,
fuel
injection high pressure hose blew out, and sprayed your hot engine with
gasoline...
change those hoses and rubber fuel lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, and a industrial sized fire extinguisher under the back seat doesn't
hurt,
either....

We're rebuilding an '85 Westy engine (me and Ken Wilford) going to replace
fuel line... but I've heard that the short 1" connection between the actual
injector and the injector manifold (i don't know what to call it) needs
special crimping.

I'd like to replace ALL the fuel line if possible.  Any ideas?

PS - the engine is coming from AVP and I'd like to say that they've been
         very helpful with all the details.  Thanks Erin!
