Friend of mine used to drive fuel tankers. One night shift he was going flat out downhill towards Prestwick Airport with 4000 gals. of aviation fuel when he saw a light behind him. Realised his back tyres were on fire so headed for the first available off road spot. Then he noticed the petrol pumps! Shifted pretty quick. Fortunately his on board extinguishers coped. Cause was a stuck brake overheating.
