I just had an engine fire. Car was warm pulled out and saw flames out the rear view mirror. My Element did not work. Next one did but did not stop fire. 40 year old fire extinguisher did the job!
What is the best solution for removing the extinguisher residue from the PMO carburetors and the engine? Could have been much worst! Saved the car! Matt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Drop the engine and trans and start cleaning. Without knowing the right thing to do, I would probably use dawn dish soap and water with baking soda mixed in. I would probably take the engine down to a long block and clean each piece individually and get under the fiberglass shroud. Then wipe everything down with wd40 to give all the exposed aluminum and steel some protection.
