ummmmm......fix the leak??? :o

seriously, put something under to catch the fuel, the go uptown somewhere and find..........oh crap, forgot the name but it comes in a yello tube...........seal-all and fix the leak temporarily without draining the tank, depending where the leak is of course............

If its a smaller hole you can get gas tank patch kits..they come with wax (to stop the leak while you patch), a fiberglass like cloth and a hardener similar to jb weld. Its pretty easy to do...my buddies and I fixed up a tank last weekend.
