Gas tank in the cabin - safety

Hi guys, when I was in college, I took an engineering ethics course where we did a case study on the Ford Pinto. The vehicle had a design flaw where two bolts would penetrate the tank if the vehicle was in a severe enough rear end collision.

When I saw that the gas tank in my c10 was directly behind the seat, it immediately made me think of that college case study lol

I wanted to check in with you guys on how much of a safety concern is the placement of the tank in our trucks? I know they do make relocation kids to get the tank out of the cabin but wonder what the general consensus is here with the oem tank placement.

Thank you!
