Actually
it is safer to keep your tank full to avoid any explosion. It will
reduce the amount of air in the tank and thus it is limiting the oxygen
supply.
National Geographic Channel did an
actual experiment using four different cars. The first one was full of
gasoline and the last one was nearly empty. When they tried to explode
the cars, the one filled full of gasoline didn't even explode, while the
empty one made the biggest explosion.
The
vapour inside the fuel tank was responsible for the explosion. Liquid
gasoline in high temperature vapourises. 15:1 is the right ratio for an
explosion. 15 parts of air and 1 part of vapour. So the higher the
amount of gasoline the lesser the amount of air. So fill your tank to
the full capacity during summer.
