What bothers me more than loosing a spare and wheel is on my truck, the rear fuel tank is right over the spare so if it came undone and got wedged between the road and the fuel tank, bad things could happen and quickly.

Warm diesel can ignite pretty easily. Either way, ignite or not, would be a heck of a mess.
