it is hearsay. most vehicles have the same issue. fuel system components are
tightly designed and WELL THOUGHT OUT by very smart engineers so it
won't catch fire in an accident, yet still do it's job.

half the comments on this forum assume no thought went into each and every piece of the car, but the fact is: millions were spent on very careful analysis of everything, bumper-to-bumper. you want it different ? buy a different car, case closed.
