Whether an accident involves a front-end impact, side impact, rear-end collision, or rollover, defective car parts can cause the fuel line or gas tank to leak and cause a fire.
· Fuel line defects: When inadequate material is used, fuel lines can tear or separate from the gas tank or other components of the vehicle. Tearing or separation of the fuel lines can cause leaks which lead to fuel fed car fires.
· Fuel tank defects: Fuel fed fires are frequently caused by defects in the structure of the fuel tank. For example, if welded seams fail, fuel leaks out. Likewise, if there is insufficient barrier surrounding the tank, the tank can be easily punctured or crushed in a crash or can rupture and explode.
· Poor gas tank placement: Formerly, defective vehicle design was a leading cause of fuel tank fires. The poor placement of the gas tank caused it to be crushed in a collision, which in turn caused the tank to explode. While vehicle recalls have reduced the occurrence of car fires caused by tank placement, some accidents still result from this design defect.
