Hay/Truck fire cause found

Posted by TomA on January 31, 2012 at 10:56:44 from (64.118.111.159):

I moved the truck this morning and looked it over.
Behind the right rear wheel was something that looked like a plastic mud flap. I did not recall that the truck had mud flaps so I checked further. It must be a mud guard that was up behind the rear wheel under the bed. It had become detached and the way it is formed I can tell it was riding up on the tire. It is black plastic but there is red plastic goop stuck to the side of the bed where molten plastic had landed. The way the hay was loaded bales were sticking way out the side and some of this goop must have been thrown up into the hay. The good news is State Farm says we have 0 deductible Comprehensive and it is covered. They are going to send and adjuster out from the burn unit to look at it and make us an offer. I have told them I want to retain the truck and either fix it myself or salvage it. They have been real nice so far. It doesn't look too bad to fix. The tanks are intact but all the fuel lines and hoses burnt up and it looks like the heat took the temper out of the spring on one side.
