I have a 1997 740il BMW third owner 228,000. I start to notice in April of 2011 that when I fuel the car up that when removing the gas cap there was a hissing sound. A couple of weeks later it started leaking fuel when I look under the car I seen that the fuel tank on the driver's side was crush in and had a hole in it. I have park the car till I have the money to repair it. I have not run over anything nor has the ever been in a crash and has been keep very well.
