What Causes Fuel Tank Explosions?
Although auto manufacturers have the legal responsibility to produce safe vehicles, many exercise negligence during the design or manufacturing process and release dangerous vehicles to the public. When there are defects in the design and/or placement of a fuel tank, dangerous explosion and fire accidents may result in the event of a collision.
Fuel tank defects may consist of flaws in:
- The placement of the fuel tank in the vehicle
- The material from which the tank is constructed
- The actual construction of the tank during the manufacturing process
- The shielding (or lack thereof) that ensures the tank is not crushed in a collision
An attorney can help determine what caused your gas tank explosion accident by investigating the crash site and resulting damages to the involved vehicles, as well as by consulting with accident reconstruction experts and other relevant professionals.
What Are Some Examples of Vehicles that Have Defective Gas Tanks?
There are many vehicles that have dangerous fuel tank defects, including certain popular pickup trucks, Ford Pintos, and Crown Victorias. The Pinto and Crown Victoria are particularly notorious for having tanks that can explode on impact due to the mounting of the gas tank between the rear axle and the bumper. They have been involved in numerous accidents which resulted in serious burn injuries and, in some cases, fatalities.
