Front tank mounts were suspended from the frame, allowing them to break off and the tank to shift forward (into that bolt).
Gasoline would spill onto the heat of the exhaust system and fire would result...under the front driver seat.

back to square one:

but, the pencil pushers in the board room decided that the cost savings from the tank mount would still return more to the bottom line net after settlements for damages, death & lawyer fees
