Dodgy fuel lines cause a lot of these fires.!!
Theres a good FAQ here :

Little consolation now I know - a good FireX system in the storage area would have been handy too what withthe ££££ of steel sitting there stored.!!

I'm sure I've read through this awful thread and I don't think there is any indication of this being the cause.

Let's hope everyone gets back what they put into these vehicles so they can start again which I'm sure they all will.
Good luck in the following weeks guys.

Morning all,

I've onlybjust seen this post, I'm so sorry to hear the bad news, my thoughts go out to all! Such a shame, I couldn't imagine how you are feeling, I just hope the insurance companies pay out, I had so many issues with mine when I had an accident last year.

All the best dude!
