Fuel cut off? Was'nt the car parked? Non SE's only have a rollover fuel shut-off, but I'm not sure if SE's have anything more. Either way I'd say he was lucky as hell the gas did'nt start a blaze.

Why would it matter if the car was parked? Another car slammed into the fuel tank region at 100 mph, twisting and tearing the metal all around the gas tank and likely denting the tank itself... that could have leaked vapours, etc that could have subsequently been ignited by the death throes of the ramming vehicle's ignition system.

When you said Fuel cut-off I understood that as something that cuts the fuel flow or cuts power to the fuel pump. Therefore, since the car was parked, and presumably not running (no fuel flow), I wasn’t sure what point you were trying to make with that post.
