gas tank leak

I came home today and my garage smelled like gas.
so i checked under the supra and there was a puddle of gas on the garage floor from probably a 7 hr time period.

the leak is coming from the gas tank on the bottom where it is exposed.

i dont know why it is leaking...maybe rust got to it, or it was punctured?
whatever it was the guy who had it before me patched it up with something and i wanted to know what i could use to patch it up so i dont have to buy a new gas tank.

any suggestions?

btw: it only leaks when i fill up...but the leak is on the bottom of the gas tank. so that doesnt make sense why it will only leak when it is full...
