Description of the problem	While traveling south bound on hwy 95 needles california in a 35 mph zone apiece of debris (possibly vehicle fender molding strip) struck the gas tank of our 2005 nissan murano causing the tank to rupture. The vehicle was towed to copper canyon nissan (lake havasue az) where the tank will be replaced. The cost for replacement will exceed $750. 00, not including loss of fuel. My wife who was driving at the time is nine months pregnant and upon parking the vehicle at her work location was informed of the leak. The possible hazards with this are tremendous. The fire department was notified so they could place quick spill clean up due to the fuel leaking on, and running down the street. The tanks rupture was catastrophic causing the fuel leak to be excessive and from multiple holes. The tow truck operator increased the hole to release the rest of the fuel for transportation. He (tow driver) stated that the rupture was significant and dangerous. The service department was notified of the nhtsa finding and statement on 9-21-05 (re: opening investigation into murano tank leaks from road debris) at which time they stated they were unaware of such a problem but would contact nissan.
