Having run front tank RNs for 60 years I've had the occasional spillage onto a hot exhaust manifold which just evaporated with no conflagration. Whilst I did manage to momentarily set fire to my daughters Beetle when a small leak from the fuel pump conveniently mounted next to the distributor which provided the necessary spark. My first RN was fitted with a front and rear tank to give a huge range back in the 1960s, the rear tank was disposed of when a following car bent it, since when I've always looked on the rear tank as a liability and prefer the front tank.
