VW Fire Safety and Prevention, BlazeCut. 1973 VW Bus Restoration Part 5.

Old VW buses can be prone to engine fires, and after having a small electrical fire I decided to step up our fire safety. In this video I go over the BlazeCut fire suppression system and how installed it in our air cooled vw bay window bus. This is a passive system that you simply setup and forget.

We also install an automotive and marine approved full size fire extinguisher up in the cabin. This size is a little over kill, but we have the room and better to be safe than sorry.
This video also points out 3 of the most common sources of engine fires on air cooled VWs. 1. Old/rotted fuel lines 2. broken or failed fuel filter 3. fuel line nipple popping out of the carburetor.
Hopefully this video helps give you the info you need, or inspires you to take actions and save your vintage kombi.
