Description of the problem	Was driving along 15 freeway southbound in las vegas getting ready to exit flamingo at around 7:30 pm. Road was clear. All of a sudden i hear a loud noise that sound like it' came from the rear of the car underneath. As i exit flamingo my wife and i start to smell gas but we think it may be because there are so many car's out on the road. When continue driving to our hotel (bally's) and pull in to valet. I ask the valet driver if he smells gas and he says yes it pretty strong too, my wife hears dripping and looks out the passenger side and see gas pouring from the bottom of the car. The tell me to pull the car to the back to park so that it can be towed away and the gas can be cleaned up by hasmat. I park the car and watch for a while as gas is just pouring from the tank. There was nothing in the road, i didn't run over anything i don't know what happened to the tank.. Had it towed to autonation nissan in las vegas and they said the tank was punctured some how. I did a little research online and found that this same exact thing has happened before http://nissanproblem. Com/2012-nissan-altima-fuel-system-gasoline-problems-defects/ http://www. Autoblog.
