I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of a Millenia having this problem? My 2001 Mazda Millenia sat in a parking lot for 24 hours prior to moving it. Upon moving the car aprox 7 blocks to get fuel we reaalized someone had slit our rear tire. After the tire was changed we pulled the car about 25 feet to fuel up and when I inserted the gas arm into the gas tank within several minutes gas was pouring out of the bottom of the car. To make this short the Mazda dealer I purchased the car from told me he had never seen this happen before ever in his life and that the main mechanic at Bluegrass MAzda in Louisville, KY had only seen something very similar after 30 years with Mazda service one time. Neither could explain the reaason this happened. The gas tank had buckled and expanded so that when I went to put gas in it, it just poured out of the bottom of the car. The gas was rolling down all sides of tank. The expansion has caused structional damaged to the floorboard in the back seat and the layer of sheet metel that lies above the fuel tank They did say it could be a malfunction of the exhaust fans in the fuel tank. We have asked for them ( MAzda Service) to contact Mazda concerning this matter. They keep saying they will and they don't. Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks
