Abstract

It has shown possible to provide occupant protection and maintain fuel tank integrity in a rear impact approximately equivalent to an 80 km/h vehicle to vehicle. Key items are a.o. the principle of providing "collapse space" for the fuel tank was shown to be successful; elimination of protrusions clase to the fuel tank reduced the risk of puncture; recessing the sender/fuel pick up pipe in the fuel tank protected from impact damage.
