And the truth is... you're way more likely to die with your engine sitting on your lap in an intersection. If that fireman is an old guy, like me, and was around when back in the 60s/70s he'll tell you that. Most dangerous thing in your truck is the engine sitting in that frame(unless you have a 4x4). If you smack into something head on, you can adjust the dwell angel while waiting for said firemen! But hey, you have to be comfortable with your setup. But you know, if gasoline leaks from your fuel tank, no matter where it's located, and ignites... you're getting a hot foot either way. That said, I did consider moving my tank at one point, I wanted the space behind the seat.
