Sorry to hear about this. Saw the pics on FB and just cringed. I hope everything gets sorted out for you. Looking forward to the next one. Glad everyone is okay and unharmed.

Rip lpr
Suxxors. Sorry Chris. On the plus side, you know what to not waste your time and money on this time! I know I would have done some things differently on building mine up knowing what I know now.

It is not a loss...
Because of Mr. Ross and never ending pursuit of Raptor excellence. LPR, and LPR 2.0 pushed the development of a lot great products, companies, and people. He did the unthinkable and brought together all these vendors and got them to work together on something. You only have to watch the Raptor at Glenn... There is/was so much potential in that Raptor will trickle down to us mere mortals..
Hats off to Mr. Ross for never giving up and following the dream!

Out of curiosity, was the fuel system all either -AN or PushLok lines?
Or is it something simple like an O-ring failure?
Probably the only way to ever know is to manage to put one out shortly after it catches fire so there's something left to examine. These trucks can't run that much boost, so the line/rail pressure can't be much higher than stock.
If I keep my truck past the warranty it will probably end up boosted.
I lost my toy Isuzu Pickup(it would be lame now, but, I was in HS so it was awesome to me) to a rupture fuel line. Only took about a minute for the whole works to burn past the point of putting it out without a fire truck.

how many sc trucks have caught fire this thread implies quite a few?
Really sad to see this happen. Fuel fires are the worst and once started and it takes hold there's not much you can do unless you have a fire truck right there. Chris I enjoyed every moment of your build and look forward to your next project.
If my count is correct, I've read or heard of four including LPR. All Hennessey installs.
