I had a 2007 freightliner century class, i put it in the shop after having too many error codes, all related to the fuel management system. They had the truck 3 days and replaced the davco globe and the fuel temp sensor. I drove from Jacksonville Florida 130 miles to Savannah Georgia, the truck exploded on i95, i shut the whole freeway down for 5 hours in aug. I made it out safely but the truck burnt down right in front of me in 20 min, gone..then the fire trucks showed up. The company i leased on for hardballed me into not taking action against the shop because they lease the yard space from the shop. No action ever happened to the shop, my question is can either of those items pertaining to the fuel system cause that type of explosion in the engine. There was an explosion at 65mph i heard parts hitting the pavement, smoke and flames filled the cab,, seemed like turbo may have caught fire or too much fuel was allowed to enter the motor causing it
Freightliner Fire need advice
