I would have thought that saloon cars have plenty of space (ie the boot or Gordons footwell solution) to keep either away from the driver. Leaving aside the obvious risk of burns from boiling oil/water, the tank and its shroud/cover must surely present a danger to a driver in an accident?

Because -
a) I/Jos haven't got a boot (coupe/hatchback shaped thingies).
b) The further away from the engine the less efficient the pump.
c) No room in the engine bay to fit it.
