I can only imagine what sort of warnings my Atom should have come with - the gas filler cap was separated from the exhaust manifold by a carbon fiber body panel with aluminum/Kevlar heat blocking tape on the underside. For added fun it had an oversized filler neck which meant that gas station pump auto-cutoff didn't work.
