Looking at this thread today took me back to not such a pleasant day when I had to put out an air cleaner fire on my car. Luckily I had an extinguisher and just made a mess out of my engine compartment. I'd hate to see anyone here have this happen to them. For those of you using the K+N style top mesh style air cleaners, a small carb fire could turn into a blaze quickly. Do yourself a favor and get an extinguisher before you drive your car again.
