Pulsation damper failure. Leaked fuel. Caused engine fire.
Mazda's rx-7 model fc3s from model year 1986-1992's fuel pulsation damper has an issue that it will leak, since the device sits on top of the engine so if the timing is right, an engine fire will start. It is a very well known issue in the rx-7 community. Im surprised no one ever filed a complain over this. 1986-1988's fuel pulsation damper is very prone to this defect, they changed the design and use them on later model year of rx-7 from 1989-1992, but it will still leak.

Due to defective fuel rail, connected to fuel injection system, leaks fuel ontoengine compartment, whichmay have cause a fire.common problem.dealer needed to replacefuel rail. There was excessive fuel smell around the vehicle with the hood closed. The fuel rail and exhaust manifold are on the same side.
