2016 Tundra caught on startup

2016 Tundra Crew Max Caught fire on startup? An reason why? 5.7

 

Spilled oil? Frayed wire that arced? Rodent damage? Those are the things that come to mind immediately

sorry to see this op

 

Any aftermarket lighting on truck?

 

No after market lighting.

 

Okay, let’s go further down this road.
Has there been ANY mods to the truck?

 

Glad it was caught before it burned up. Hopefully the cause can be more easily traced and you could share with the rest of us. Something to watch for.

 

Nothing at all. That's what i don't understand. Even the master cylinder was still cooking when the Fire Dept. arrived

 

Pop that engine cover off and get a good pic of the area under the burned area

 

Damm bro does insurance cover this kind of stuff??

 

Being it’s in that area, nice love
Go chew wires there... possibly damage from a mouse? Hard to say... shit sucks. At least the whole truck didn’t burn

 

I believe the coupling I circled in red below is a sliding fuel line connector. I believe you had a leak at that coupling with fuel spraying in a fin mist arc that was somehow ignited. I am surprised the whole truck didn't burn to the ground. Any recent fuel system work?

 

That is indeed the fuel line, but the clips on fully. Unless someone nicked a seal

 

There are several Tundra's that have caught fire recently......all seam to started in this area. Little bit concerning . This could have been a lot worse!!!

 

Any recalls yet?

 

Nothing on this yet!!

 

That's rough, glad you were okay. My gut tells me that rodents are probably behind these truck fires, chewed wires and what not. Keep us updated if you happen to find out the cause, please.
