I agree a check valve might be good. I also think in a serious crash
either rubber or aluminum will fail.
The most likely cause of fire is electrical, as Jos tells us, first
action is to shut off the electrics.
In my crash I think the tank split. Battery was at the front and shot
off forwards straight away so "automatic switch off" probably occurred
as it were.
The problem is, when the workload gets too high one forgets the plan, ie
"we lose the plot!" I always tell mono drivers to pull stick full back
as soon as they feel the tailwheel touch. I never did remember to do it
myself, my brain was busy doing something else. Age? maybe but the more
you train yourself in these vital actions the more likely you will do it
when muck hits fan
