Just brainstorming here, but didn't you have the fuel system replaced in that truck due to contaminated fuel a year or two ago? I'm wondering if something maybe wasn't quite put together properly (clip not fully seated, etc) and it finally came apart causing the fuel leak. The truck is so badly burnt it may be impossible to determine what the cause was.
Believe me, that thought crossed my mind too. And I had the fuel filters replaced two weeks before the fire also.
Some folks have theorized that there could have been a problem with the Transfer Flow replacement tank. I don't think there was any chance of that. The initial fire was near the top of the engine, and not anywhere near the tank. What was interesting, was that when I examined the remains, the TF tank was still in pretty good shape.
