You are absolutely correct... either that or he spilled gas over an area with an unprotected electrical terminal or something.... who knows... one of the articles said "gas overflowed and then the car burst into flames"... so that spells user error and possibly a design issue of perhaps an unprotected connector within the filling area. If this turns into another recall then this would be the second engine fire related recall for the 2014's (last one was the 911 GT3's)
