My Friend's Porsche 911,991.2 Model,Petrol leaking on to the Turbo,luckily discover early,because of the strong Petrol Smell,or else sure return COE..   @Gnahpwhy German Cars,cannot make the Fuel Connectors using Stainless Steel or Brass.?Used Plastic that cannot lasts.

Mercedes is top of fuel tank or fuel tank crack. It’s all cause of using biodegradable plastics and also to make sure their parts department get their fair share of revenue. What’s wrong to earn more money. 
look at how much Porsche prices have gone up. Same idea they learnt from Rolex and LV. Up and up. Till people now got fed up and now start get pissed.

"The fire involved a non-electric vehicle and was extinguished by the activation of the MCE's deluge system, as well as firefighters using a compressed air foam jet."

when they didn't anything about the car type, you know it is EV

similar logic here 😅

"A 50-year-old Singaporean man has been arrested by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on 9 July 2025 for suspected drug trafficking...."

Because Gov't wanted everybody change to EV ASAP,if too many EVs caught Fire,Public got Bad Impression that EVs are Dangerous,less People will switch to EV...If everyday got 1 EV caught Fire,nobody will buy it.

It's also because they all need to be "eco eco" by regulations.

Look like old Honda Stream.

 

Years ago my colleague's old Honda Stream also suddenly caught fire while driving. Suspect previous owners done some electrical mods on the car.

ICE cars common cause of fire is due to those aftermarket electrical mods e.g. those special gadgets to 'regulate' battery voltage or boost spark voltage for more power etc. LOL.
