Fuel Fed Fires & Car Wrecks
Fuel-fed
fires often happen after a wreck, even a minor one,
has occurred. Killing up to 1,000 Americans every year, Fuel-fed
fires are one of the most dangerous aspects to a car
wreck.
Several manufacturing flaws are responsible for
fuel-fed fires: a fuel tank placed too close to parts
than can puncture the tank, defective tank welding,
lack of proper fuel tank protection or overall poor
design.
A major national safety institution recently commented
"Some experts indicate that fuel fed fire injury
risks could be largely mitigated through preventative
measures that would cost an average of less than three
dollars per vehicle."
Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers often fail to
take the proper steps to lessen the likelihood of fuel-fed
fires.
