What part of the truck doesn't burn?

A solid core foam rubber mattress [that’s not fire-retarded] is extremely dangerous once ignited and will burn long enough to get the rest hot enough to burn. Also any vinyl, plastics, fabrics, rubber floor matting and padding is very flammable and extremely difficult to combat once stated, and very noxious.

Not sure why trucks don’t have to meet the same fire retardant specs as aircraft.

 

"Spontaneous Tractor Combustion"?

 

Now you know why you should never shut off a hot diesel,,,

 

I would be willing to bet a incab webasto heater to be at fault.
When I was driving the trainer was deathly concerned about the webasto heater having been left on.
He darned near had a wreck because of concern of the "if the green light was on"

 

Geez,the only thing of value that didn’t burn was the smokestack and the muffler. Everything else is GONE!!
Can somebody say factory recall??

 

I was gonna say no. Nuttin left to buff.
Now we're going to get a thread on the "Bad Company" forum about a Swift driver that got abandoned at a PFJ.

 

There are good reasons for not shutting a diesel down until it has idled a few minutes but fire prevention is not one of them, there is no risk of fire inherent to shutting off a hot diesel engine.

 

Your regen is complete you are free to proceed with your trip!

 

Thank you, that was a joke. Besides, that was a long time ago during the old "Clatterpillar" days. Probably nothing wrong shutting off a newer diesel these days.

 

My guess would be a poorly wired or over drawn inverter.
