Fire Risk/Doug Davis

Hey All,

Doug's point was right on, however Paul's original concern was post crash fire

fatalities. That means (correct me if I'm wrong) fires that resulted from the crash.

If the coupe hits hard enough in a nose down attitude, the starter could punch

thru the firewall and into the header tank. Fuel then leaks all over the inside and

possibly back thru the hole onto the hot exhaust. Besides the fuel tank (30 gal)

conversion the next best thing would be shoulder harnesses, increasing the

chances of staying conscience following such an impact. The easier solution

is not to crash.
