I drove the car approximately 3 miles, I pulled in to a parkings spot, turned off the engine, and exited the vehicle. I walked across the parking lot (about 20 yards) when I heard someone say "that car is on fire!!!!" I turned to look and noticed that it was my car.according to the fire department, when they put the fire out the first time, it flared back up due to the fuel pump still pumping gas out. (the keys were in my pocket).
