Car was a test ride, a mulet. When they fill it up with gas, some gas spill on the downpipe onto the exhaust, causing the ignition of fire when exhaust was hot, and making the car to burn in flame.

If it caught on fire when filling with gas one would assume the ignition of flame happened in the gas station..........why are they on some random road?

Gas spilled b/c it was overfilled?
I hope it was the stupid driver's error and not a defect.
