Not salvagable? Probably still worth $20,000.

Sounds like somehow a fuel line was pierced. FI cars have quite a bit of pressure built by the pump in the tank and leaks can spray a fine mist of fuel. After the exhuast heated up to op-temp and a fine mist of fuel added, bad news.
But who knows,..sad though.

They might squirm, but legally they can't deny a claim over it from what I understand.
