I was on a field trip with my 86 Ford bus. It was winter and I needed to pick them up in 10 minutes. I walked back to check the bus and when I got back up front I reached down and hit the ignition. It started but hesitated so I took my foot and pumped the pedal. It died and then I couldn't get it to start right. It would only idle. All of the sudden it dawned on me - it had belched fuel and the air cleaner was on fire. I grabbed the extinguisher and opened the hood. I took off the wingnut and lid and the element burst into flames. I grabbed it and threw it out into the parking lot and counted my fingers. That air cleaner was shooting flames five feet into the air before I doused it. Needless to say, I drove the rest of the route with nothing in the air cleaner box.
One of the passengers mentioned something about smelling BBQ when I pick them up. I kind of laughed to myself. I also never started that bus again without being in the seat and giving it enough gas so it wouldn't cough. It was that cold blooded 370.
