Default check engine light

Alright boys, I got a check engine light after the car sat for 4 days. Its not flashing any codes but I havent pulled them yet. The only work ive done on it is mount a amp on the wall behind the passenger seat, could I have drilled into the gas tank? Im almost on Empty so Ill have to slowly fill it up I guess, any suggestions.
thanks

If you did drill a hole in it, you wouldn't be the first to do that. All I can suggest is that you pull the codes to see what's up...

Okay, I must have put a hole in the tank cause I put in 5 gallons of gas and now I cant hardly stand it in the car. So what next how hard is it to drop the tank to fix it.

You may want to send Gene at Karshop a PM or email to see if he has a used one, then PM Patches to ask if he has removal advice (and pics)
