Tripacer has fuel in wings. That was an electrical fire. 95% of in flight
fires are not survivable whether fuel is in the header or wing. I carry a small
hellion fire extinguisher up front. I had a DME smoke a couple of weeks ago and
my wife had the fire extinguisher out before I realized it. She pulled the pin
before I stopped her.

That hits close to home having put 500 hours on the old TriPacer I
had and reaffirms my decision to eliminate a header tank and put all
fuel in the outboard wing tanks.
I wish your friend a speedy recovery.
