Had just topped off the gas tank and restarted it. Prior to shutting off had been running 6 hrs. Restarted it and left alone monitoring from inside went outside 2 hrs later and found the tire completely burned up with an ash ring about 18 inches around tire were grass had burned. How it did not cause the gas tank to explode just a couple of inches above the tire, I have no idea. lucky the fire did not spread more than it did. I contacted the company and forwarded them all this info but I've not heard anything from them in over one week other than it was passed to the right department.
