Annoyingly I took it to ford, they jacked it up and they told me there was no physical damage to the tank at all, no evidence such an accident happened. The AA man thought the tank was ruptured, as on the day, I travelled 15 miles down a motorway, and the range dropped from 50 to 20 miles, down the road, I travelled in stop start traffic, I must have travelled just short of 1 mile, and the range dropped from 10 to 3 miles, I have never seen it drop that quickly. I then topped up the tank with  5 worth of fuel, which usually indicates an increase in range to 63 miles, and as I left the forecourt, the mileage range after top up remained at 1 mile to go.
