going back to the original post i have seen this first hand in Afghanistan and i have seen it work both wonderfully and when thing go wrong...lol most of the time they are starting the fire under the engine then move it to the radiator, but when they get in to much of a hurry they build the fire to big and well you guessed it the engine catches fire or the hoses and wires...lol then the real magic starts when they put the fire out and proceed to fix it with rags bailing wire and what ever else is near by on the ground, and start it...
