A car converted to use gas caught fire and overheated profusely on a busy highway, raising serious concerns about the safety of such conversions.
The video, shared on Michael Sunday’s official TikTok account, has ignited a heated debate on social media platforms regarding the risks associated with converting traditional fuel-powered vehicles to gas using a cylinder.
The video, which has been widely circulated on various social media platforms, shows a car engulfed in flames and emitting plumes of smoke as it struggles to maintain stability on the highway.
Concerned onlookers can be seen attempting to douse the raging flames by pouring water under the vehicle, highlighting the severity of the situation.
