my saab cought fire today and the thing that fueled it most was the hood
pad... i stoped in front of a ladys house and she let me use her hose... and i got it out with and the car is salvageable... the fire dept got there about 10 minutes later.... (I will always carry a fire extinguisher from now on and I am going to rip out all the hood pads from now on...)

Its the hood pad that does most of the burning... and it transmits the fire to other places...
