The purpose of the report is to analyze the motor vehicle fire data from motor vehicle fuel tanks and to estimate the current risk of fuel tank-related fires. The report begins with a summary of currently available data on the annual number of total motor vehicle fires, post-collision fires, and fuel tank-related fires and the subsequent associated fatalities, injuries and property damage with these fires. A discussion of how the data were analyzed and adjusted to project the number of fuel tank fires, fatalities, injuries, and property damage in 1990 and beyond when refueling controls could be required is also included.
