  Brent or others,
     What do you think the easiest way to encapsulate the fuel system in the
cabin would be?   I like this approach.   I also think a fuel shut off valve
at the wing would be
  something to consider too.  Are there any remote shutoff valves that we 
could
manually turn off at the wing root where the fuel comes out of the wing before
entering the
  cabin?  This is not a perfect solution, but would at least possibly give you
a chance in case of a crash, and keep more fuel from coming in the cabin via
broken fuel lines.   Jeff,
  are there any accidents you've seen where this might have saved the
occupants?   Probably hard to tell when the fire burns the entire airplane.
