Your either really rich and throwing flames or running really lean. I've never heard of a car catching fire like that. My cutout was blowing on my rear seat for years. Paint does not even look overheated.

Good thing there was no passenger in that seat when it started. Would've been a ride they never forgot.

I had my cutout turned down slightly. Yours sounds like it may be turned up. My car pops every now and then, so I guess I need to watch my cutout and make sure I don't have that problem. Well, I know my seats won't catch fire. I took them out a few weeks ago
