You can sometimes get a fire similar to that in the video after an engine change. Engines that have been in storage often have their fuel systems filled with preserving fluid. On the first run of the engine, this fluid will burn with a flame as it is passed out through the fuel system.

Agree, just ask Delta who lost an MD11 that way
