Is it possible for an electric fuel pump to come on with out the ignition being on? After a couple days of non-use, the battery is dead, and I sometimes smill gas odor in the car - perhaps there is a leak at the injectors and the pump is trying to keep the line pressurized? Is this possible?
Also, the electric antenna and radio no longer work, but I don't think they'll draw current without the ignition being on.
Thanks for any help. - Oh, do you know of any good nissan repair shops in clarksville or dickson, TN?

could be leaking injectors. and yes if the fuel pump relay is bad it could keep fuel pump running.
