Subject: Can we pervent accident induced fires ?

Respected Sir,
      Many deaths occur in motor accidents due to the fire started by 
leakage of fuel. I was thinking like, if we can add some chemical to the 
fuel at the time of accident (using the same trigger as for opening of 
airbag) , which will react instantanously with the fuel in such a way that 
the fuel may not be oxidised as fast and as exothermally as usual, cant we 
prevent this deaths due to fire in accidents ? 
        I would be much obliged if someone can clear my doubt. If this is 
feasible, has anyone tried out such experiments ? I would be verythankful 
for the answer.
