Damaged Fuel Tank - Comprehensive or Collision?

Have two questions for you guys if you could please help! Hello btw!

1.) recently hit something underneath the car. the fuel tank is damaged and leaking fuel bad also I believe the oil pan sprung a hole and is leaking.

Only have liability, but just put comprehensive on it the night that it happened. so will this cover that? or do I need collision as it was something in the road I believe a metal tube or part of something on the thruway popped up underneath.

2.) if I wait until Monday to report this (happened on Friday) and say I only noticed fuel leaking will they pay for it if I say it may have happened while I was driving on the thruway? basically is there any way to get this fixed by insurance? I'm new to accident stuff.

1) It's collision, not comprehensive.

2) No, as you don't have collision coverage. You can get it covered by committing insurance fraud.

There will be a deductible under either coverage. Usually when coverage is added a claim "happens" a few days afterward it sparks an investigation on the matter.
