I thought modern gas tanks didn’t explode. That cars exploding was just Hollywood overdoing the special effects.
The la brea accident shows they do explode under extreme circumstances. But for a couple of poles a gas station could have exploded as well
All because an unstable chick got in a fight with her boyfriend
He dodged the crazy train she would have made of his life
Look at the car, the gas tank did not explode.
The engine being damaged and hot and with oil and some gas in it, caught fire and burned. Fuel pumps shut off in crashes, so no additional fuel is pumped to the engine.
