A: There was nothing inheritantly wrong with the tank. It's the car around 
it wasn't strong enough to protect the tank in a collision! (that and the 
more you put in the trunk, the more likely it was to burst due to being 
squished against the rear differential) I had several 70/71s (1.6 4 speed 
and 2 2.0L autos) that I jacked up. 2 of the three were seriously hit 
several times from behind (it's what happens when you play hit and pass, 
then demolition derby! <G> Yes, I had a Nomex suit)

" drum brakes are dangerous which is why Detroit got rid of them.

correction: detroit got rid of drums because the gubmint made them.
they made 1000000-mile cars because the gubmint made them.

detroit would never get rid of anything they could make a nickel on
just because they were dangerous - consider the pinto gas tank...
