“”This combination of hardware provides for physical  

    security of the firewall penetration and a good deal  

    of protection for the grommet against fuel-fed fire.  

    The final touch is addition of the fire-putty fillet  

    around the wire and to cover about half the surface  

    area of the grommet on the engine side. This  

    adds relative gas-tightness for CO and protection  

    of the exposed insulation/grommet from fire.””

        I would be delighted to read your appreciation  

of the relative danger of fuel-fed vs. oil-fed engine   

fires.   

        While I understand the danger of inflamed fuel,  

I anticipate cutting off the fuel delivery. I know it cuts   

the engine but perhaps a forced landing is better than  

crispy critters.  

        Oil on the other hand is difficult to stop, unless  

you stop the engine, which is slow and leads to the   

same fate basically. It also may be modified by later  

engine re-start. What have I missed?  

What say you?
