What Caused My Vehicle Fire?
In order for a fire to happen, there must be three things present: oxygen, fuel, and an igniter. Car makers purposefully make it difficult for these things to be present together. However, leaking fuel lines and defective O-rings (which seal fuel tanks) can lead to fuel leakage. When combined with frayed electrical wiring, this can lead to a devastating car fire.
Other possible causes of car fires include:
- Poor fuel tank positioning
- Fuel tank pressure issues
- Defective fuel system
- Electrical flaws with fuel leaks

Meet Our TeamNissan & Mazda Fuel System Issues
Nissan and Mazda both have issued massive recalls on their vehicles for fuel system issues. Mazda recalled their Mazda6 model from multiple years because the fuel lines are prone to clogging, creating dangerous pressures that can crack the fuel tank. Nissan’s Altima and Maxima 2016 models had a defective O-ring prone to leakage, and creating the possibility of combustion on impact.
