I'm glad to hear you're ok, and hopefully the burns were minor and healed quickly - things could have been a lot worse (esp. if you'd been able to fill the tank before this happened).
It's tragic that the car was lost, both for you and for the buyer.
If you ever find out what caused the blaze, please let us know, it never hurts to be reminded to check that hoses and wires are tightened and secure.
