Dave,
The only Tiger I can recall burning from a fuel leak (I believe originally at 
the carburettor (stack-fire)) was the one that burned to the ground at Tigers 
United 1: the owner left the car and did not turn off the key...consequently, 
the fuel pump continued to pump...well, you get the idea.
At the 1993(?) Sunbeam Northwest event in Chehalis, Wa. Norm Stone's car caught 
on fire at the autocross, also from a carburetter leak.  We extinguished it 
before there was any significant fire damage, but the powder clean-up was quite 
a job: concours followed the next morning.
