I'd speculate that meth splashed over onto the turbo side of the engine and started its own fire and may have leeched back to the WW reservoir. Without having a camera at that onset of the problem we can only speculate.

The meth line did not go up until some time later that much I know.

If anyone is convinced this is indeed not a meth fire I would be happy to hear their opinions but I'm pretty convinced seeing what I've seen/heard/been told by various people.
The more I look at the pic, the more I'm convinced that the meth line wasn't properly ran. That line looks fused to the battery line now. IDK, maybe a friend of the friend of the friend of this car can chime in. I'm pretty interested as well as I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone either. Jeff, can you PM me more pics possibly?
