During transport the fuel tank was taken off, and upon setting it up on a test stand it was just plugged in, leaving the 1m fuel line(yellow) empty of fuel, but the part of tubing after the pump was still full of it from last time, because that part was not disconnected(part ofthe test stand(white line)
So, in first couple of seconds, the turbine got some fuel and started spinning, but then ran out of it when large ammount of air came(from yellow line) and flame went down, then pump continued to pump until the fuel eventually came, but there was no more flame, and it flooded the engine.
Then it ignited but there was too much of it in turbine now, and outcome is the big big flame and over 1000°C temperature.
I sure learned a lot from this and will add fuel priming to check list :)
Si there you go, don't let that happen to you one day!
