   It won't catch fire. You can search for this yourself:   
      
   bullet gasoline tank fire   
      
   It's a myth, mainly as a result of many Hollywood movies showing cars   
   exploding from a single bullet to the tank. Even multiple bullets fired   
   into a tank won't cause the fuel to ignite. You need an incendiary   
   bullet, and even then you might require more than one.
