Car was in motion when it begun sputtering and shaking as I accelerated. I drove back home, about 5 minutes, and opened the hood. Car was on and parked for the visual inspection. My partner put the car in reverse to see if I could see what could be causing the problem. The motor shook when it was put in reverse. Immediately something near the fuel lines started to emit smoke. It looked like aluminum foil. The car had a half tank of gas and gauges seemed normal. I turned off the car and went inside the house to get my tools. When I came out, the car was engulfed in flames coming from the motor. 9-1-1 was called and firefighters put out the fire in about 30 minutes. The fire spread rapidly and the car was destroyed when the fire was finally extinguished.

My fuel gauge is faulty. When I fill my tank up, within 50 miles of driving, the gauge reads that I have 0 gas and that I need to fill up again. This has left me guessing when I need to fill my tank up again based on mileage that I drove and days since I last filled up.

I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra that has the "service engine soon" light on. I was unable to fill up my fuel tank because the gas spilled out, even though the tank registers 1/4 to 1/2 full. The gasoline starts to overflow, therefore I have to go slowly which takes me 10-15 minutes to fill in the tank. Also the engine does not start until after many cranks most of the times when the service engine light is on.

At first it was here and there now it is everyday everytime I try to turn on the car. I called about the issue and was told I may need a tune up, my car just hit 50,000 miles.
