    You need to try and destroy a fuel tank. And when nothing happens, wait a while. Patience is key. I crashed my Pessima into a tree and left the wreck there while starting a conversation on Steam. After a few minutes, fire appeared and before I knew it, the car was one big fireball...

    the easiest way for me is to rear end a Moonhawk with a d15 at at least 70 mph (112 kph) and the Moonhawks gas tank explodeds

    Sounds like you have modified the particles ingame or any other files we used for that stuff.
    I suggest a clean reinstall:
    -Unistall BeamNG from Steam
    -Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from MyDocuments (backup your mods if you want)
    -Delete BeamnG.Drive folder from Steam/Steamapp/common (If there is still a folder)
    -Reinstall BeamNG.

    Gas tank is located in the back of the car and you didn't hit it. Sometimes the engine catches on fire too and i think the more powerful cars with the engine on front catch on fire more easily.
