Hi all,
1976 E 32 (Atomic 4)
Last year I bought some fiberglass tape for exhaust lines from West Marine. My engine exhaust pipe from my engine to the first elbow was exposed It is the stuff that comes with a thin aluminum cover. I wrapped the pipe with the aluminum foil on the outside. My wife and I took off for vacation on the boat. We were motoring to the channel and hadn't gone but a couple of miles when it tape started to smoke, BADLY. I was afraid of a fire. I ended up cutting the wire that was holding the fiberglass wrapping and pulling it off.
Has anyone used this and experienced the same thing?
Should I have put the aluminum foil next to the pipe? Supposedly this is what the wrap is for, but I'm afraid to put it back on again.
Any suggestions or answers would be most beneficial.
Thanks
