Default Gas leak in my 91 hatch! need help asap!!

title pretty much sums it up, i just picked up a 91 hatch today, filled it up at the pump, drove home, and now a few hours later theres a puddle of gas under the car, and a steady drip coming from the tank. is there anything i can do right now to stop this leak, avoid having the 35 bucks worth of gas dumped in my driveway, and also avoid potentially being subject to a pretty explosive situation?

My buddy used a bar of soap to fix crack on his tank.

They have gas tank sealer at your local parts store. Comes in a black tube. You mix it and push it in the hole. No you don't have to drain the tank. I have seen it work, but for how long I do not know. Look in the sealants isle. Or ask!

What kind of expensive gas do you use! I just filled up on 93 octane from being very empty and it was around $30
