The Ford Taurus isn't derived from the Ford Pinto, is it?

I was going to ask if it was a Ford product. I've had two gas tanks fall out of Fords when the straps broke.

The Ford Taurus isn't derived from the Ford Pinto, is it?No, but even the Pinto required substantial rear impact to explode.
My take is a fuel line leak near a hot exhaust, resulting in a small gasoline fire that spread until the tank let loose. Or, maybe the guy forgot to pay his loan shark.

No, they're close though - one's a bean and the other's a lemon.
