Would carb and injection engines be the same? eg. burst high pressure pipe in a fuel injection engine. I recollect a Cessna manual recommending high airspeed for an engine fire, but I haven't flown a Cessna for almost 9 years. Would engine rotation maintain the injection high pressure until the fuel in the pipes ran out? Was there a single Piper fire where the burning high pressure injection fuel sprayed over the outside of the cabin?
