The van had not been running for more than 10 minutes. I heard an explosion looked outside and the rear of the van was shooting embers everywhere and then it went up in flames. The opening of where the gas tank is immediately burst into flames. This was caused by a short in the electrical circuit in the back of the van behind the plastic casing on left rear inside panel. The fire department stated that there was a short and the fire was definitely confirmed to have been an electrical fire. Thankfully it was put out before the van exploded..
