Has anybody considered painting the exterior of the fuel tank with intumescent (fire-retardent) paint?
It wouldn't do much good if the tank ruptured in a crash, but (assuming the perspex sight holes had been plated over) it might delay a post-crash fireball long enough to give you a better chance of getting out, or for help to get to you if you were knocked unconscious.
Just a (depressing) thought.
