Look out! 10 Triggers Cars Burned

JAKARTA - Car owners certainly do not want to scorch the vehicle engulfed in flames. Musibahnya, not just overwrite the old-old car, but it was like a Jaguar luxury that occurred in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta, the end of January. So, what causes the onset of spark and wherever they come from?

Three resource persons, namely Usman Adie (Service Operation Manager Tunas Toyota), Angian (mechanical workshop AMS) and Andrie Widjaya (Bassindo audio installer, North Jakarta) have visited to know the heart of the matter.

These are the sources of fire that warrant concern and scrutiny.

1. Exhaust leak. Steam heat of the transferee to the fuel line hose is gradually broken and dripping gasoline.

2. The material. Cloth, paper or cardboard materials in the exhaust manifold or exhaust burning and grabbing onto other parts of flammable because of the heat.

3. Leakage. Usually the fuel hose clamps because the binder is less good, resulting in gas leak in the engine room and can be ignited when the engine-starter or when the engine is hot.

4. Power steering hoses. With the high pressure oil and severely damaged the oil spread to make exhaust manifolds. Generally, the car suffered a power steering hose close to the exhaust manifold. This will not happen if the hose joined checked when servicing.

5. Addition or optional on the fuel hoses. Typically, klemnya not strong, as a result of gasoline in the gasoline leaked and caught fire because of the influence of heat.

6. Solder. Notice in the patriannya alarm cable connections may be less robust due to electrical short circuit triggered a fire.

7. Power cord. Since crushed and flake off and touched the body that cause electrical short circuit.

8. Cables accumulate. Usually the battery, regardless as exposed to shocks. When the wire touches the negative on battery or body, there was an electric short circuit.

9.Sambungan cable. Because of lack of strong lead wire shorted between positive and negative wires. Coupled with a fuse that is too large, so the wires become hot and smoke arising.

10. Most likely exist in the O ring on the injector. If the signs are wet, be careful of is O ring is brittle to make fuel out of injectors and if left unchecked and exposed to a heat engine, there will be fire eating.

Well, the message from the mechanics, do not repair or replace components associated with gasoline and oil, using faux materials. after the service, check around the engine, perhaps there are things left that can lead to fire.
