I don't think that a fully loaded droptank would explode when it hits the ground. Assuming the droptank brakes because of the impact, you would have fuel scattered all over the place, but it wouldn't explode. Fuel in order to explode needs to be in the estequiometric proportion with oxygen.
In any case, if there is something the ignite the fuel, you could probably get a fire for quite some time until all the fuel is consumed, but not an explosion.
A half or less loaded fuel tank would be diferent, since in that case you do have a good mix of fuel and oxygen in gaseous state inside the tank itself, and that can cause and explosion.
So it is for what i know and remember, but i could be wrong.
