They also happen to have gas in them

Gasoline burns far too cold to melt aluminum.

For what it’s worth, aluminum has a pretty low melting point at only 660.32 °C (according to a quick internet search) whereas a gasoline fire can get pretty close to 1000.

I’m not supporting or arguing against the original statement, but your statement is just factually incorrect. Car fuel can melt aluminum beams.

Abiotic flame temperature is not a realistic estimate for those conditions.

OP said “aluminum” but the truth is that the relevant car parts are made of an aluminum alloy, actually.

The alloy should have a much higher melting point..since, ya know AIRPLANES ARE BUILT WITH IT, TOO.
