    OK, that explains it crystal clear - I was trying to visualize it mounted, and the tire tread had me all messed up!! That also makes it soooo much more scary, to know where it's mounted, and that the tank "puffed" like that due to the vent flash! Like you said, but for the bladder the driver would have been in a cloud of fire!!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
