Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan sentra. While the vehicle was idling with a full tank of gas, the pressure in the gas tank forced fuel out of the tank and caused gasoline to leak out. Whenever the contact would place fuel into the vehicle, the gas pump would automatically stop indicating that the tank was full, when in fact it was nearly empty. He then began to notice leaks on his driveway and took the vehicle to the dealer. He was informed that a new gas tank and fuel filter were needed.
