Hot catalytic converter parts

A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in fuel oil and diesel exhaust gases into less toxic pollutants. If the amount of pollutants burned exceeds its capacity, this tool will overheat, which can lead to a car fire.

Electrical components are damaged

One of the main factors causing a car on fire is damage to the components. This damage can cause sparks and ignite fires very easily. For that it’s a good idea to carry out routine checks of the electrical parts of your car.

Fuel spills

Be diligent in maintaining your vehicle and insuring your vehicle. General Insurance provides car insurance which is known as Individual Motor Vehicle Insurance.
