[QUOTE="Deleted deleted, post: 603745, member: 54774"] TomT: Many police departments added a metal shield for the fuel tank of the Crown Vic's to prevent such a tragedy. I don't recall if Ford paid for the shield or if they were purchased independently. The Crown Vic is too heavy, especially with all the equipment in a police car for that 4.6L V8 to be very effective. I would imagine if Ford sees too many fleet sales fall to Dodge that they add the 5.4L V8 as an available engine. In fact, I'm surprised that Ford hasn't already done this for the Crown Vic. I think that many police departments need to adopt a 'no high speed chase' rule. Too many officers and innocent bystanders are being killed by such activities. [/QUOTE]
