Good luck trying to explain that one to the insurance company. 80K down the drain.

I probably will never spray any higher than a 75 shot but when I was putting everything together I thought about putting a pressure switch on. You know opening the circuit some where around 775 to 850.

That sucks ***, we all do stupid stuff, hell, i don't have a blow off vent out of the cab. But man, I bet he is still crying.

That is sad.

Go to Wal-mart, buy a $12 fire extinguisher, place in vehicle.

I have one in every modded vehicle. If it isn't modded then insurance will cover it.

Yep, I have extinguishers as well. I don't know how fast I could get to it. Or if the fire was under the hood how well I'd be able to extinguish it, but I'd give her hell.
