gas tank location

:popcorn:

Never seen, or heard of any car, or truck randomly bursting into flames from an accident that didn't involve some form of external tank, or improperly maintained equipment. The only photographic evidence I have seen came from mass media "special reports", and most of those were dis-proven as having been setup using pyrotechnics to achieve a desired result.

The only times I have seen vehicle fires involved one of two things.

Race fuel, including ethanol.
Faulty electrics, including stripped wiring.

Aircooled VW's were "notorious" for suffering from fuel fires due to old and worn fuel pumps. I know people who have only run factory style pumps, and NEVER had an issue. Not even in a rear end collision.
