You are absolutely correct about an extinguisher in the car art all times. I did not have flames (and have no idea why not!). This gasket on the remote filter adapter was improperly seated and let go at triple digit speed. It looked like the smokiest F1 blowup you have ever seen. I looked in the mirror and could not see anything! Oil was ALL over the bottom of the car, but luckily didn't get on the tires. I dodged a bullit much like Hemisnake.
