Need some advice guys. This has never happened before with any vehicle
2013 screw with 35k miles

I drove into my police station and loss brake power. All of a sudden brake pedal was to the floor.

Small fire in the engine bay. I had to call the fire dept to make sure the fire was gone. Doesn't look like the small fire did any damage.

Sure enough one of the steel braided brake lines busted and you can see fluid everywhere

I need to flatbed tow this. I want to tow this DIRECTLY to my Ford Dealer in the morning Sunday 7am at the end of my shift and just drop it there.

I have never did that........is that possible?

What is the question? Get it fixed, pretty straight forward if you ask me.

Those look stock. My 3.0 shock lines were rubbing against one of those lines but was wearing down the shock hose. I got some hd clear tubing and wrapped it around the ss lines. Seems only way to break those is flex but it doesn't flex there, attached to the frame.
