The contact also stated the fuel heater and electronical connector was covered in diesel fuel and had a burned smell. The vehicle was not drivable.
I was trying to pull out of a drive way on a country road. The road was obscured and hard to see around the corner. I started to pull out slowly to see around the corner. I took my foot off the accelerator pedal at that time a loaded log truck came around the corner and I was in his way. I automatically pressed down on the accelerator pedal and the truck just sat there for about 2 to 3 seconds before it started to move. The log truck had all its brakes locked up and smoking.
