Many have caught fire. It's been long enough for the aftermarket to design a product to prevent this. Something made of delrin shaped to the tank that just glues on would work fine...

If that were true my TLS would have blown up twice

On the TLS the tank and radiator protect the frame slider from getting damaged.
