Default Fuel dripping from bottom of fuel tank

I sensed a fuel smell from my car and as i was driving i noticed little drips of fuel on the road as i accelerate. So i stopped and checked underneath my car and surely, i see drips come from the bottom of my fuel tank. what could be the problem? do i need to replace the whole tank? i just pumped a full tank of gas.

Take out your back seat. Remove the round cover in the middle (fuelpump access plate). Cross you fingers & hope it's leaky tubing. The tank has a higher section aft of there, so don't unscrew that flange from the tank. You'll suddenly get LOTS of fuel. Drain plug is towards the left rear of the tank. Or siphon it out?
