If I were you I will buy another gas tank which will probably be a cheap fix from the junkyard and have it installed because a plugged fuel tank and fuel seeping out like that is very dangerous and could be fatal. Is engine components heat up the fuel seeping out and splashing when you're driving could cause a fire so if I was you I would have that taken out and have another one installed as soon as possible
