Mazdaspeed6 up in Flames.

Good evening, everyone. Today I had a really rough day. I was going from my girlfriend's house, and as I was on my way out of the development, I gave it some gas. I felt the car misfire a little bit, then completely lose all power. I began to pull over when all of a sudden I saw flames coming out of the hood. I had two fire extinguishers with me, so I slammed the car over to the side of the road and tried my best to put it out. However, when I had used up one can, I noticed the fire was pretty large. I tried to pry open the hood slowly so as to not burn my face, but the flames were everywhere and all over. I then slammed the hood, got away from it, and then called 911. I was luckily in a really popular area that was very close to the fire department. They got there pretty quickly, and the fire never spread into the cabin. The front of the car is absolutely smoked. After it was towed back, my coworker and I were talking about potential causes. He said it sounds like a fuel line popped off. I did have the JMF intake with the Graveyard performance steel braided lines, and when I went to look at the line, it had clearly come off. I have pictures of everything. Really unlucky day, but I am really grateful that the Lord has spared my life, and I am able to live to see another day. We will see what insurance says, and I will have some body experts come by to see if it is even a good idea at all to replace the front frame rails and do a full rebuild. I am really hoping I can do it. It all depends on how much insurance gives me, and if they give me the money before or after the repair.
