Charmed life as he's led, many of those things were not actually life-threatening, assuming proper action on his part. Like the gas tank - gas tanks don't blow up like that, just don't hang out by the filler when the car's on fire, and you'll be fine. They explode, but not like high explosive with a shock wave or anything, just like a plume of fire, and then like a giant blowtorch with any remaining gas. Vehicle fires are pretty traumatic when it's your vehicle, and all the closed fluid systems blow up and scare the crap out of you - but just get out and walk away, you'll be fine. As far as the fire blowing out his heater vents..... fuckin' soviet cars, man.
I wonder just how many times Keith Richards has cheated death? He makes Frano Selak look like a pauper.
