Silly sod use your fire extinguisher.Should always replace your fuel lines.Cheaper then the fancy wheels on the burnt out van

[chuck6969100]

[Aitchy1976]

That's my worst nightmare. Just avoided it recently as I noticed the fuel dripping on the exhaust pipe before I drive of. RIP

[epicutubemembername]

In Burma , they call these VW buses " Breadmobil " because the shape of they're body looks like a loaf of bread . Now I guess we can call this one " Toastmobil " . No offense to VW fans .

[marbrasil67]

@epicutubemembername Nice. In Brasil we call VW buses "LITTLE OWL" !!!

[shalak001]

[lellyumsX]

[wertyh11]

All VW convi owners should put an electric oil sender cut off power circuit to the damn electrif fuel pump to circumbent this problem.Ones the fucking engine oil preassure dies it will cut power to the fuel pump.

[cashman156]

He could have saved it with a basic fire extinguisher at the start? I take it he didn't think to carry one, hope his insurance payout bought him a proper camper next time! lol

[twotone17]

He wanted the "Rat Look" but he underestimated the power of fire ... =( Makes me sad!!

[indydaisy1]

oh man what a shame

[eatshit740]

Best thing to have happened to these over rated heaps of shit.

[indydaisy1]

@eatshit740 yer yer TOSSER with no character right here people.

[Dodgefan44]

i got a vw camper for sale only miner smoke damage 2,000 dollors or bo lol

[fllip360]

@proph3t777 Since when burning a fucking vehycle it's 1000x better for the enviroment ? what's wrong with you ? Wharen't you go plant a tree or something ?

[Harleybum]

They sure burn GOOD!!!! that sall they are good for, always slowing traffic, sounds like a corn popper. GLAD this piece of shit is off the road and now scrapmetal......

[grizzleypeak]

@Harleybum They sound better than them loud obnoxious Harleys and are more usefull.... They have beds in them for when you get lucky. They leak less oil too. I wouldn't trade 50 Hardly Ablesons for my VW Bus.

[TheKeish9000]

@Harleybum Booooooooooooo

[mb8vu2]

why leave the bonet open and the doors its the first thing you do you close them up to keep air away from the fire

[boo66]

30 seconds into filming before anybody 'phones the fire brigade! How slow witted is that?

[NinezeroPlayer]

One less hippiemoble on road is a good thing.

[JOSHIEKIDD]

IF THAT WAS MINE I WOULD CRY MY EYES OUT CUZ I LOVE THESE BEAUTIFUL CLASSICS. WELL NO MORE SHITTY BANGER BUS BYE BYE

THE REASON Y I SED SHITTY BANGER BUS IS BECAUSE IT IS TRUE ISNT IT HAHA

[Madness832]

[PoppaBlue59]

@Madness832 That's what I was thinking!

[VwErik88]

Sad :( what happend?

[fllip360]

The Earth thanks you !

[proph3t777]

@fllip360 Its made from this great material called STEEL!! and its 1000x better for the environment than the plastic and lithium a Prius is made of.

[kyberforce]

shame man

[bennyhaslonghair]

Slam it, Now it would make a sick rat look

[stempelbremser]

fuck -.-

[Haggisthegirth]

Bummer dooooooooode!! Lol

[KhaliTheMachine]

Noooooooooo, this beautiful bus..!!!! damned

[baycamperz]

slam it and rat it lol

[jamie88694]

Ring fireman sam he is the hero next door!!!

[rancheroman1961]

For 3 bucks worth of fuel line this shit would never happen...VW owners need to change their fuel line once a yr...vw's put out a lot of heat and that weakens the rubber lines and dries them out...the idiot with the camera could have grabbed a hose instead of his camera and saved the van but no, he wanted to see it burn, fucking idiot.

[chimetrooper]

@rancheroman1961 Right on! The first thing I did with my '62 beetle. I never had any problems. So many people have no idea about this. Your the first person to mention this vital tip for air-cooled vedub owners. Good on you mate!!!! I hope people out there will read your post.

[dodgechargercrazy]

every camper should have a fire extingusher

[MetalCranium3]

SAVE THE BICYCLE!!! FUCK THE VW!

sicko

[volksveve]

ouah le bad !!!

[Darklordkime]

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[jumpinmattflash]

Have it dipped and build it back up she'll be good as new ! 

[GrimlyCurmudgeon3]

Oh, tough shit, that owner.

I always have an extinguisher on board, but I'd probably forget it was there when it came to use it.

[sn673]

R.I.P.

[canido29]

shit ;(

[fiat850super]

VW boxers = Valvefail and misfiring = car in fire.

Allways bad quality. Allready with 80000km/50000miles...

Subaru makes the best boxers latest 40 years:-)

[riverlifeva]

godless killing machines;)

[mrspivvy]

I feel sorry for that guy- but these VWs certainly seem to catch fire a lot, don't they? type in "Volkswagen fire" on youtube and there are loads of results. Beetles too.

[cwnation]

as soon as the case catches fire...there is nothing you can do till the case is all gone.

[MrM4ttyf]

good for a bear metal resto now no problems

[timmy82087]

Seriously. That guy should be ashamed. If he has time to record it then he had time to save it. They guy should be ashamed.

[slypaul911]

timmy it was recorded by someone who lived on the road where it went up ,i just posted it when my pal whos camper it was asked me to ,in memory of his loved bus

[beavisthelizard]

@slypaul911 Gravity fed fuel lines.... once they burn thru your introuble. not much you can do other than get out.

[d3ejmz]

@timmy82087 There's no shame. You can't put out a magnesium fire.

[djnee]

Argh.....gutted to see this :(

Did you try and have a go at putting it out yourself?

Only reason i ask is that i had a 69 van that had an engine fire.....only noticed when the smoke started coming through the inside heater vents...but i managed to put it out with my t shirt...my fire was about the same as this one was at the start of the vid too :(

[imfercho]

Man I'm not even saying anything to you. I´m just saying to MR24HRS that making that kind of coments the way he did is just showing the complete dumb-ass he is! It has nothing to do with you!

[slypaul911]

@imfercho ok pal ,no worries

[1964corvan]

good thing he got his bike out! cuz now he will need it!!!

[Jonny925]

This looks just like my bus... I almost cried

[MR24HRS]

give that fool a ticket for driving that old ass junk

[imfercho]

give MR24HRS an asskick for saying stupid things.

[MR24HRS]

WHY IS IT STUPID??? that fool is impeding traffic, that lame should of stayed inside that ugly ass bus.

[imfercho]

who the f... do you think you are? Oh yeah, you must have a porche or some shit like that to be talking like this. But don´t worry, what goes around comes around. You better pray for not being on the same situation ever. And if it happens, be sure to stay inside a-hole.

[stormpemberton]

You nasty person
