I ones got my singe fuel tank of F4U-4 damaged, came home on a drop tank lol.

yep a lot of players keep them on with 75% fuel and if they up there ride for defense or short ride to fight they just drop them on the runway. I say it's more of a hazmat problem then the fire departments. :D

+1, I think there are more important things to be modeled, but I wouldn't have any issue with the slipper tank (aka my fuel home...) to ignite a bit... ;)

It doesn't do damage because it isn't modeled to do damage.
