Faulty fuel tank

Got my db-36 together this weekend. Adjusted carburetor and reset valves. Put everything together and added just a little gas to begin with. Started it up and rode it around for about 15 minutes. Ran great! Filled up the tank later to go on a ride with my kid and gas started pouring out of the tank all over the engine! Hurried up and took fuel line off of fuel valve and drained the tank back into my gas jug. Took the tank off and found a hole right behind one of the tabs for screwing on the plastic to the tank on the right side. I'm going to call about a replacement in the morning but if it's going to be a hassle I'm just going to weld it up. Very frustrating!
