Chevy Impala explodes after an oil change

Probably not actually due to the oil change... but good luck explaining that to insurance

Damn! :o Well at least they have it on video. I didn't see anyone do anything stupid. Although they were a little slow getting the extinguisher.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Oops.  [bang]


Way back in high school a friend attempted to change the oil himself in his new to him 5.0 mustang. He later tells us, "It took forever to refill the oil. And, I had a hard time finding a funnel with a small enough spout to fit in the fill tube." He poured the entire 5 quarts or so through the dipstick tube. I wish this story was made up.

 I'm not familar with modern chevy engines. I'm assuming it's port injected. How is the high pressure fuel rail routed? How robust/fagile are the fuel connections between the fuel rail and the injectors? Is it possible for a ham fisted "mechanic" to undo the fuel connection at an injector?
A conclusion is the place you got tired of thinking

Id say theres a couple problems here.  Even if you crack the fuel rail or an injector (plastic bodied), you have to have some sort of ignition source...perhaps a hot manifold, although i dont think it was running long enough for that...

either way, ive had an engine fire on my 79 jeep from a cracked fuel hose...not fun.  luckily that thing doesnt ahve ANY electronics to fry  ;D
