This 1978 Ferrari Caught on Fire near a Gas Station!

But the good news it was that it simply drove itself away from the gas station where it burst into flames!

The owner of this 1978 Ferrari 308 stopped at a gas station in California for a refuel. He finished refueling and was putting the nozzle back when he saw a spark immediately followed by flame bursting from the engine. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the fuel pumps. The owner tried to put off the fire using a fire extinguisher but failed and ran away.
