My guess is that they were installing the sub woofer on the incline behind the seats. Pretty sure the fuel tank is in front of the engine, but behind the seats.

And I just installed new 16" tires and Schmidt wheels, had my windows tinted and installed Dynomat in the doors and floor. The stainless grill kit and fog lights go on next week. The week after I have my side skirts painted to match the body.
It turns out my gas tank was not damaged. Rather, the sub woofer mounting screw pierced a section of my fuel line. The damaged fuel line was repaired and my ride is back with me. I guess my mpg will go up now that I am not dripping gas.
