The hose in the compartment where the jack is most likely is some kind of drain for water or something like that. Go trace the hose down and see where it goes to ... I bet it's not the gas tank.
I picked up on that, but whats the hose thats next to the tire jack connected to because its connected to something because ive treid pulling on it.
