Thanks all for helping
Oh that explaines it. I never could understand how a fire could start back there, unless it was the brakes.

The most important thing to come out of this, is there looks like there is a fuel line on the SVX, that can leak to cause a fire. Three that we know of.

Thanks for posting the results, it could save a life.
