    Fuel cell shaped properly to match the hatch area spare tire will comes to mind actually if that was a thing should be reasonably safe there too can be a blanket type of fire bed business blade there also I'm not worried about fires personally none of my pintos caught on fire but a few did so that was that same with the corvair I have friends with 429 whatever's in the back of them run great you can hear them from Sandy springs all the way out to Roswell Georgia anyway yeah all of that fires

    Since not posted anywhere yet I've found, I'll post this Corolla 9th Gen tank successful conversion into a Gen 2 Prius.

    The video Comments section has more info as well.

    I'll also add the 5th & 6th Gen Camry et.al. interchangeable as noted in the comments section success. I'll post my observations here as well since also found the 2004-2008 Solara, 2005-2012 Avalon and looks like several Lexus ES models, specifically the 2004-2006 Lexus ES330 and the 2007-2013 Lexus ES350 do as well.

    Like I always said I thought it would there had to be a few that would go . The pressure sensor in a can type enclosure is great idea. Toyota modification server info Worthy for sure.
