Where should fuel supply cylinders not be located on a vehicle?

Ahead of the front axle or behind the rear bumper
Within the vehicle structure
In the engine compartment
Only behind the rear axle

The correct answer is: Ahead of the front axle or behind the rear bumper

The most suitable location for fuel supply cylinders on a vehicle is critical for safety and performance. They should not be located where they are most vulnerable to impact or damage. Placing fuel supply cylinders within the vehicle structure, especially in spaces like the engine compartment, can expose them to high temperatures and potential hazards from engine components. Additionally, these locations can complicate access for emergency services in the event of an accident. Cylinders should ideally be positioned such that they are shielded from potential damage. Typically, locations ahead of the front axle or behind the rear bumper are problematic because they can expose the cylinders to significant impact forces during a collision. This can lead to ruptures, leaks, or even explosions, raising serious hazards for both the occupants of the vehicle and others on the road. Selecting safe and secure placements for fuel supply cylinders is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the integrity of the fuel system.
