Exclamation Hole drilled through trunk and gastank?!?!?!

WTF?

I noticed when i fill up all the way... gas leaks from the gastank and alittle in the spare tire well. I went under the car, hit the gas tank a few times and i noticed gas squirting out of a hole in the spare tire well.

Someone drilled a hole straight through the spare tire well into the gastank now there is a puddle of gas in the gap between the gastank and the chassis.

Going into the shop on friday to plug up the holes

Anyone have a reason to drill that hole? or was the previous owner just trying to set my car on fire?

there could have been a problem wih water gathering in the wheel well.

so the dumbass thought they'd drill a hole to leak water.

into the fuel tank...

Thats my thought.
