Saying that if you hit any car at 55+ is gonna = a fire is true. But the Pinto had the same sort of prolbem. There is very little protection around the gas tank. The tank is located behind the rear axel. The cops usually have a box that holds the tape machine. This is one thing that cuts the tank open in an accident. I think they should put better sheilding around the tank to lessen the chances of a fire. This is not an issue with regular Crown Vic's but it is with the PI's. They put mods on the Crown Vics to make them PI's, why not just add more protection to the gas tank as part of the package?
