You would be in a load of trouble. Gasoline is considered a hazardous material, since it is flammable. So if the gas leaked all over the road, which it would, there could be a fire or explosion, if a spark catches the gasoline on the road or under your car. There could be a traffic accident if the roadway is crowded with traffic behind you. If it is a divided highway, the other cars might be safe, but if you are on a highway with no barrier between the lanes, the gas could run onto the other side, causing troubles. The gas tank itself could bounce around or get hit by a car either behind you or an oncoming car. That could cause a traffic accident by itself, not considering the amount of gas that might have been in the tank. In short, the police and other people will want to talk to you. You would need a lawyer for any criminal or civil charges that people might file against you--collisions, damages caused by explosions or fire of the gasoline, people might have been injured or even killed by the gas tank coming off of your car while driving. If you think your gas tank is loose--don't take a chance. Get it fixed immediately or you could be in jail for the rest of your life if something happened.
