Re: Air tank behind the seat?

On the drag racing safety side of things, I provide ballistic blankets for the turbo guys who route their boost tubes to an intercooler/air-to-water box mounted on inside passenger side of the cockpit, and those are usually under 50 psi. For a tank at 150 psi, or more, I would be pretty concerned about something so close to my back without a shield or ballistic blanket.
