Gas does not spontaneously explode. There has to be an ignition source, as when lighting a fire. The ignition source would have to be a spark from a fire. Gasoline in itself is not an explosive device that when agitated will explode. The myth that gasoline explodes upon agitation is false, and gas only explodes when it is ignited in some sort of way by a fire, or constant source of extreme heat.
I think it is an Land Rover or an Porshe Cayeene
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.

Though the filler neck, no. With filler neck/tube removed from tank you can.
because the dont press together like in the motor
Because there is no spark or flame present. If the tank is full it wont even explode if you throw a match in it, However if the tank has a large area that has no liquid fuel in it then the addition of a lit match or spark will cause it to explode.
Strange question! If caught in molten lava they will certainly catch fire, and yes the tyres and petrol tank could well explode.
Because it's a liquid. Because it needs a spark to ignite, which is why in come cases, if you are on a cell phone, or you are smoking, it will cause the entire gas tank/station to explode! KABOOM! :)

YES Only if the gun shot causes a spark and hits a part of the tank with fuel vapors in it. Shooting a lead slug in to a tank full of fuel is not likely to cause an explosion.
In the fuel tank. Tank has to be removed to access.In the fuel tank. Tank has to be removed to access.
the tank may explode

they explode because like in a crash a spark from metal touch the gas tank and ignites it. but mostly the gas tank is ripped open and a spark touches it and ignites it. it's not really like in the movies I have seen vehicles crash and burn to the ground and the fuel tank never explodes. Like mentioned above, it's only in the movies.
There is no reason for gasoline to explode in a tank. There is no heat or spark source in there. But the basic answer might be that there is little to no air (specifically oxygen) in the tank.
