General practice is to put the tank where it is least likely to puncture -- and that is usually near the driver. Look at the Boxster's location.
Am. pickup side-saddle tanks are some of the most dangerous ever made. The Pinto was prob. worse. Lee Iaccoca decided to svae $8/car by not putting in a shield -- even tho his safety engineers told him and his upper mgmt. to do so. That's why the maimed survivors and their next of kin were able to win that big tort suit.
