you would think manufacturers would put some kind of guard over fuel line, tanks ect. Something similar happend to me, but I was driving a Buick. I hit a small piece of diamond plate and it bounced up and punctured a hole in my gas tank. Luckily, it didn't cause a spark to ignite the fuel.
Glad no one was hurt and too bad for the loss of the vehicle.

It scares me to hear these stories of things happening to people who have encounters with debris in the road. Glad it wasn't anything fatal.
I just wonder how the owner is doing on making the payments?
I must say, this is the first time I have ever heard of something like "road debris" causing a fuel line to rupture enough to engulf the whole car like that!!
Sounds a little fishy... just curious, that's all.
Amazing how convenient comprehensive insurance can catch up delinquent payments and get you a new ride.

@Zwise Cracker - ... is what brought down the Concorde. I can envision a scenario where something flips up hard enough to do damage to a fuel line.
That's not to say this is what happened here... anything is possible in these times when people are under financial stress. I'm just saying I can see it.

@Enova - i was driving an 89 Lincoln, i failed at avoiding a rock, it kicked up and slammed into my fuel line, and as i looked back i saw my fuel spraying out behind me, in a big old mist cloud.
luckily no one had flipped out a cigarette at that moment.
i believe that the story is completely plausible.

Let me guess, the insurance pays off the car and no more car payments? Ran over something? Yeah. Right. The claim is not possible. Time to call the adjustor.
Yea, insurance doesn't pay for that. Has to be a collision. I ran over a piece of firewood once and they didn't care about the two wheels that need to be replaced.
If he would have spent the same time and energy of faking his car burning, on a real job, he would have cash money in his pocket like a pimp. Oooh yea. Throw him in a 5x6 jail cell, with a inmate named Sweet Bubba Suzie. Why should I pay for his stupidity in my insurance premium. The insurance company better fight this one to make an example of insurance fraud.
His wife meant to cut the BRAKE line!!!!
But she cut the fuel line instead!!!!!
Oops!!! I hope she upped the insurance on the car at the same time she upped the policy on her (what she thought) would be dead husband!!!!
I am so glad I broke up with this woman!!!!!
She will try to implicate me I know it!!!!

My daughter's car sprung a leak. It was a plastic line, exposed to the world directly under the driver's seat.
Who designs this crap?
