Recently, several fires have occurred in the car. For example, the Honda Civic in the way of General Sudirman (14/12), Peugeot BNN office near Jakarta (26/12) and an unidentified truck brand in front of Ambassador Mall, Central Jakarta, this afternoon (29/12). There are several causes until the car engulfed in flames and other car owners should be wary. And Teddy Djusman, head of the SS Performance Shop garage, Bandung, West Java tells the parts on cars that could cause a fire.

Fuel Leaks
According to Teddy, fuel leaks most often affects the car. The trigger, there are two. First, the connection between the fuel hose is not meeting or precision. second, start brittle hoses because of his age. Typically, conditions began to brittle over 5 years. Cars with the injection system, the examination of these components must be more intensive since the pressure is great enough.

"Seepage gasoline would be more dangerous when it occurs in the engine room because of frequent sparks, usually from the old alternator or exhaust system," added the man who is often called Didu fertile.

Electrical
There are two parts, each body and engine power. The emergence of a spark due to a short circuit occurs due to the age of the cable is old and peeling skin. It could also be 'shorted' because of looseness of fuse clip (in the engine room) that can generate heat and eventually melt due to heat. Still about the fuse under the dash (lamp) is replaced amperage size bigger so that the fuse melts.

The emergence of the fire could also be due to the bulb of the lamp socket is replaced with a larger size than the standard. While the fuse is replaced.

Bad Brakes
Usually the brake caliper is not functioning properly resulting in endless hot work so hard and make the rubber seal to melt and leak brake fluid. Condition of brake calipers are burning from the heat if exposed to oil could accelerate the onset of fire in advance there are some systems that use brake caliper cover is made of plastic.

Packaging Exhaust
"It's usually used by those who modify the car by using the heat in the exhaust silencer. Actually, no problems so far not affected by oil on the surface area," added Teddy. Because oil will trigger a fire when the exhaust temperature is high.
