A 50 Mph (80 Km/h), 70% overlap rear crash test. The barrier weighs 1360 kg. (About 3000 lbs.)

Part of a series to test this current generation FMVSS 301 (50Mph / 70% Overlap) against vehicles that were FMVSS 301 compliant in the previous generation. (30 Mph / 100% Overlap)

Result: Fail - Fuel Leak. A total of 36.9 ounces (0.29 Gallons) of fluid drained from the vehicle during the Static Rollover.

There was no Stoddard solvent leakage immediately after the impact event. Stoddard solvent leaked from the fuel filler neck area of the vehicle during portions of the static rollover. Leaks were visible while moving from0° to 90°, while holding at the 90° position, and while moving from 90° to
180. The amount of solvent collected at each interval exceeded the allowable limits.

This is a test on the fuel system to ensure there is no fuel leakage in a high-speed rear-end collision. There is no instrumentation in the dummies.
