Why do cars catch fire while on the move?

There can be many reasons why a moving car catches fire. Factors such as fuel leakage, electrical short circuit, engine oil leak, exhaust system fire, brake system overheating, battery or alternator problems, CNG/LPG kit leakage, and fires after accidents can trigger fire in vehicles Most fires occur in vehicles that are older (more than 10-15 years) or that have not been regularly serviced. Fires can also occur due to aftermarket CNG/LPG installations (especially substandard kits) and electrical modifications such as horns, lights, and sound systems.

How to prevent this?

To protect your car from fires, you should have the electrical and fuel systems checked every six months. If you smell oil or coolant in the engine, turn it off immediately. Always keep a small ABC-type fire extinguisher in the car. Get the CNG/LPG kit validated and leak-tested regularly. Most importantly, if you notice smoke or a burning smell, stop the car immediately at a safe place, turn off the ignition, and get out.
