Not since about 1984 when gasoline powered vehicles put the pump in
the fuel tank.

Our 70 Dodge pickup has its pump in the tank, which is right behind
the seat. Kind of
scary when you think about it.

Our Ford pickup trucks had the tank behind the seat.
Never heard of one doing bad things in a crash but that was a long time
ago.


Yeah, I had a '77 Ford F-150 4WD with the 400 inch engine. That baby
came with two 25 gallon fast-draining fuel tanks- one of which was
right behind the seat. You could hear the gas slosh when you hit the
brakes or made a sharp turn.

In yet another another stroke of design genius, the filler necks were on
opposite sides of the vehicle. A real PIA at gas up time.
