So was it leaking injectors, or a bad electrical connection to the alternator? Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

I may have to review my decision to remove my 2 small fire extinguishers from my boot. I had not had cause to use them for many, many years.

With the advanced nature of that “thermal event” (as we called them) could also be PWS Fluid or Brake Fluid. Regards

It's a pre 2010 model so who knows the maintenance history, servicing an FL2 is a high price for an under £6k car. Regardless of the surmise that it was a fuel fire, once the fuel line melts the tank begins to empty, irrespective of how the fire started. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Dave, When I was younger working on Motor Controllers for Electric Forklifts etc. we had a term for this as well. We would call it an "Uncontrolled Thermal Event". You comment brought back a few memories. It is impressive what 48Volts at 1000Amps can do. (Note: it didn't happen very often) The damage was typically contained to the Motor Controller but under the cover it looked like the FL2 in the picture. Take care Paul |

Indeed, I was involved in the investigations of many thermal events (photographing evidence and electron micrography of residues) and it was often a case of experienced guess work than anything else, as you say after a decent “burn up” there is a awful bloody mess left behind!

The treatment for a hydrofluoric acid burn is really nasty. |

It likes to “eat” through to the bone, from where it migrates through the bone.
