Putting electrical cables and a motor close to the fueling port doesn't seem like such a good idea. A frayed/broken wire and a loose cap would be a messy combination.
There is NOT supposed to be a shattering KA-BOOOM! Nor flames, et cetera. I think in the trade they call this a "very bad idea." I have photographed enough accidents and autopsies where the person burned to death that I try hard to make sure that stuff doesn't happen to anyone I care about. That car was supposedly built for someone's 16th birthday. Bad parent! No cookie!
