Default Fabob Fuel Tank collects water under console

Washed my fxr with fatbob tank and noticed rusty water running down tank from under console a few days later. Took console off and the recess where gauges sit collects about one ounce of water which appears to not drain away causing metal to rust. Anyone seen this? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

most will blow air in and around as they start to dry it off - china did not know what it was if they even cared so a drain was costly to install

I didnt look closely at the tank....Can a drain hole be drilled into tank at that location?
