How long do you have to leave the bloody truck running for this to be a problem?? I know up north here they leave their trucks running pretty well 24/7 and Ive never heard any catching on fire. So, this is "progress" I guess....  ::)

That's cause the guys that own them were sleeping inside and they burned with it.   ;)

Alternatively, it's because it's been so damn cold that up this way that there was no way it was catching on fire.

There are Xray trucks and welding trucks that run a really long freaking time all year round.
