Exclamation Water spewing out open near gas filler

Lexus Gurus! When filling up my gas tank, water has begun to spew out a small opening near the gas filler tube. Is this normal? Where does this water come from? It use to not do this, but it tends to do this now after a heavy rain. Please help me solve this Lexus Ls400 Mystery.

you sure it's not gasoline?!

there is a water drain hole directly under the gas filler hole which tends to get clogged with debris. get a straw, stick it in there, and blow to dislodge the debris.

High pressure air gun. Stick it in the drain hole, purge. Make sure the drain is connected as it goes through the trunk. So much stuff shot out when i did it my celsior looked like it took a poop.
