Maybe Fearfactor didn't give this topic a good start.

But he has a point. On FB release, I didn't cared much about it.
Still, right now after a lot of more reading on the subject, I know it is somewhat exaggerated.

Jumos B engines, being a cheaper version of the Jumo A, got this problem. But on those engines if you pull back the throttle, the engine will flame out.
So, some fire may start, but it will start in a non enclosed area. Also the fuel tank is on the fuselage, and not in the wings. Maybe Luno got a point there, but anyway...

More... there are really not that many reports on this happening when it entered regular employment. Actually I can't find any! It did happened during evaluation, but that wasn't a hazard on normal operations. On the next Jumo, this problem was corrected.

Now, forget the fire at take-off. (That's what I was talking about before)

You fire some bullets at a Me262 engine, and it will always take fire... even if you throttle it out... so, all hits are on the tiny valve? When this happens, I agree with the pilot that bailed out. But the valve is really a small target... why did all the times that this engines are hit, they just got in flames, and they can't be stopped with a dive and fuel cut out?

This really don't connect with operation reports.
