I discovered a similar problem when I got caught in a heavy rain storm for the first time. I ended up with a deep pool of water in the passenger floorpan. Along with having the drain hole be over the fuel pump, the fuel lines run through the same area. To keep the fuel lines from rattling around they put in a big chunk of foam to hold them tight inside the body. On my car, the foam also blocked the drain hole. To fix this, I wedged half a ZIP drive case between the foam and the drain hole. A CD case would work, but the ZIP drive case is smaller and less prone to being deformed by the foam, plus the ZIP case has 3 sides so you can have just the bottom side open to deflect the water down. Now the water pours down BEHIND the fuel pump boot.
