Jay Leno playing with fire.

[SteveDuNord]

I've read advice on here to always disconnect the battery before messing with the fuel system. Well, old Jay had to be dragged out from beneath one of his old jalopies - aflame!

Just goes to show.

Good grief  at first I was like 'LOL' but then I was like '... bloody hell....'  ouch 

When working on the Lotus Esprit we had it on a elevated wheel platform and the damn thing just slowly rolled off it when I was underneath .... the battery was certainly disconnected but that gravity thing is 24/7  ... always chock the wheels, and never not use axle stands when jacking up a car ....

Home mechanics '101' 

Wish you a full recovery Jay Leno and hope car comes out AOK to!

Latest suggests skin grafts necessary.   Best policy is that Murphy's Law applies when working on cars.  By repute Jay Leno is of positive disposition - no doubt he will do his best to rebound.

When fixing autos, it's best to assume the worst and act accordingly. According to popular belief, Jay Leno has a sunny disposition and will make an effort to recover.

I don't like Murphy's Law. Better yet, everything should be done according to reason, reality tells.
