Fiberglas cars are especially prone to burn up because the bodies are
combustable. I also have an Avanti and many of those have burned up. Fires in
the engine compartment shouldn't be hard to put out if you stop the engine
right away so that the fuel pump doesn't continue to pour gas on the fire and
smother the fire. It is a good idea to always carry a fire extinguisher. The
ones that use halon are best. They put the fire out without leaving any
residue. Some other extinguishers leave a sticky goo over everything.
