Yes and it happens from time to time. If a bullet hits the gas tank it can create a spark that ignites the fuel, that is in gasoline engines. There is less danger with a full tank than with an almost empty tank, because an almost empty tank has a lot of vapors inside it and these vapors are highly explosive. The same applies to cars in collision. Sparks get created by the metal and also from static electricity buildup in moving vehicles. The electric current can also ignite gasoline when the break or are torn during a collision or through a projectile hitting a car. Explosions from collisions are rare, though. In diesel cars, almost no danger of this. No. Gasoline explodes by combustion. It is primarily used in movies to make things more "explosive" while in reality, not likely.
