assistance needed....long story short hole in gas tank...

well I was moving around my amps and capacitors lastnight and finished up this morning to make a more presentable look in the car and I was screwing down the capacitor brackets down in the backseat where the tray is to display it there with a nice piece of plexi-glass and I didnt realize...My stupidity that the top of the gas tank is that hump area...so obviously my capacitor should not be going there....anyways I removed the screws and I started smelling gas...one of the screws punctured the tank just barely...small ball point size pen hole...what can I use to plug that hole?? what would be smart solution...I need to figure out where im going to mount the capactior now...any help is appreciated.

Good idea, I don't know how big the hole is, but it just seems like any whole would be dangerous. Or at least risky business.

In the event you happen to flip your car, land upside down, and find gasoline leaking from the hole; which catches fire and engulfs the car in flames.
