“For inspection I had to replace the catalytic converter which deteriorated severely. The cost was 175 dollars. Today the car became a fireball engulfed in flames and exploded! The fireman stated the cause was the fuel pump in the rear of the car! I was only running the car and went inside to get something & returned to a fireball. I totally lost car in fire!”
