Default 95 Accord - Hole in gas tank?

Recently found a hole in the gas tank in my new (to me) 1995 Accord LX. It is located in the front-middle of the tank, closer to the bumper. The hole seems too circular to be from an accident, should there be some sort of plug or stopper there? I couldn't find any good pictures of the underside of an OEM Accord gas tank.
Pictures included below.
Thanks.

I suppose, unfortunately I am away at school right now, and don't have the time to. I was more wondering what the gas tank of other owners looked like.

I punched a hole in the gas tank of my Jeep once and patched it with some of the compounds you can buy at the auto parts houses. It worked well until I hit it a second time.

That patch, paint and shape does not appear to be your gas tank. Looks more like the floor panel.
Can you take a wider shot of the area and repost?

I wish I could, but I'm away at school right now, and don't have the car with me.

But it's interesting that it doesn't look like the gas tank, I guess I just made an assumption. The hole is pretty close to the rear bumper, I'd say by about 10in (if I'm remembering correctly).

The gas tank is pretty much under your rear seat. I would say this probably is the spare tire well.
