(the tank has subsequently been replaced) no other damage was incurred. no one was injured. no other vehicles were involved. i do not know if the nissan dealer kept the old gas tank. i saw the damaged tank after it was removed. there was a hole in it the size of a quarter. i did not realize the gas tank was made of plastic. *jb
