커먼레일에서 연료 누유로 인해 발생한 승용차화재사례 분석

Analysis of a Car Fire Caused by a Fuel Leakage from the Common Rail

이 논문에서는 고속도로 주행 중 화재가 발생하여 전소된 외제승용차의 화재원인을 분석하였다. 화재발생 후 2개월 경과한 시점에 폐차 처리하여 폐차장에 보관 중인 상태에서 조사한 결과, 커먼레일에 연료를 공급하는 배관의 접속에서 연료가 누유되어 화재가 발생하였음을 입증하였다. 그리고 커먼레일에서 연료가 누유되어 화재가 발생한 책임은 차주에게 있지 않고 메이커와 서비스센터에 있는 것으로 분석하였다.

This study analyzed the causes of a foreign car fire. The foreign car was destroyed by fire during highway driving. As the car was scrapped two months after the fire and stored in an auto junkyard, the car was investigated in the junkyard. As a result, it was demonstrated that the fire was caused by a fuel leakage from the pipe connection which refuels a common rail. Moreover, it was analyzed that the responsibility of the fire caused by the fuel leakage from the common rail rested with a car maker and a car service center, not with a car owner.
