The reason is fire safety, there is a code that requires electrical and flammable be routed x number of inches apart. The electrical that must be located in proximity to flammables must meet a code and\or use a resistance sending unit designed for use in flammables. All that safety and put the tank in the cab right? The big three only did what they had to do via the codes written by suits that never had a busted knuckle...Most were good, some didn't make any sense...Here's one that stifled engineers I confronted in the auto plants for 40+ years..."Whats the difference between pipe and tube?"
