Sad day

I am curious, what exactly was the source of all the flame? Were they fed by a ruptured fuel line, fuel filter or what? And did the gas tank explode or rupture during the fire?

Don't have a clue to how it started but when it got going the gasline and valve let go and the 3/4 tank of gas flowed out like a jet engine. Super hot and melted ALL the glass. The top of the gas tank bulged up and the gas cap stayed on and did not explode.

Thanks. For the info, so the gas valve must be soldered in. Very scary, we tend to get very complacent around something so volatile. Very sorry to see this.
