Has anyone ever tried to put butt warmers in the back seats?

I was thinking of the possibility that they may eventually break
If one(contact) were going to fail I wouldn't want an electrical short or possibly loose or arcing contact anywhere near the tank <i>any</i> spark can iginte fuel vapors...
Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but there have been people speaking of leaky tanks and stuff a short while back...
the one in a million combination could make for toasty rear passengers!
I'd probably do it anyway but just be certain there is some failsafe in the event of a short.
Just my thoughts.

Not possible...Yes, the elements can break, but they are attached to the seat covering and cannot
"fall away" from them. Also, its not much of a current or voltage, and if a break does occur, it defaults to "off" (too much resistance).
I have never heard of a leaky tank. Corroded lines yes, leaky tanks no.
If it was a problem, Audi would not still be doing it after around two decades (the 5ktq, which was an 1986, had them, don't know when they were first introduced but the PN is a type43 listing).
