But if you have an onboard fire, what's the issue with melted fittings? The engine and fuel will have already been cut-off? Is it possible or likely to have an onboard fire without already having fuel or oil leaking (in other words, what's on fire?). About two years ago I swapped almost all of my AL fittings for steel, though I'm not convinced it added to safety. I am aware of a IVP that crashed in NC about 10 years ago that was allegedly the result of AL fittings on a turbocharger. I've asked before on this list and never gotten a response how that occurs. If there's oil flowing through that fitting, I don't see how it got anywhere near a melting point. If there's no oil going through the fitting, well, that seems to be a more likely cause of a crash...
