To reduce the hazard caused by motor vehicle crash fires, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 301, Fuel System Integrity, was promulgated. Various vehicle modifications were made in response to the Standard, all intended to increase the crash-worthiness of the fuel system. The objectives of this evaluation of Standard 301 are to estimate: (1) its effectiveness in reducing crash fires, injuries, and fatalities; (2) the consumer cost of the Standard; (3) the cost-effectiveness of the Standard. The evaluation addresses the major version of the Standard (301-75) as it applies to passenger cars.
