How many 164s do you know of that have burned as a result of fuel leaks?
I'm not asking to be argumentative but, if the burn rate is higher than
generally known/assumed, we all need to be aware of it. We've all had
the leaks from the rail - often the result of using the wrong diameter
hose - and smells of vapor in the pass. compartment but smelling gas and
losing your car in a spectacular brew-up like Derek's are not the same
thing.
