This will be a big job as the rear suspension will probably need to come out as well as a whole lot of other misc stuff)I can believe that stones on your driveway caused this.

Big job and a i would say a expensive 1 at that.No stone would do that by the way. Could be a hose split.

I have stones on my driveway that weigh anywhere from 50 kilo's to 3or 4 ton. Even the the 50 kg stones would wreck a fuel tank if you were dumb enough to drive over them. It pays not to drivew over the edge of the driveway. :P

you know its leaking and you wunna put MORE fuel in and prolong the hazard and let more crap leak all over the roadthat some biker May slip on! good logic right there, if you suspect it leaking, Tow it to a garage and have it looked at.

park car on flat concrete, leave it for a period of time, as you return to car inspect area under vehicle, if there seems to be a puddle light match and throw watching carefully, as gas explodes it will vent away from the hole, if you were watching carefully you will be able to see exactally where the hole was

If you know where the leak is buy some " need it".Its a grey putty that goes hard when you knead it and will seal the hole even when its wet from the leak.It works Ive used it

Need it! Putty, Then look for a new tank to replace old one. Then park on road.
