Answer
Hi William:

do you live in the rust belt area of the country? if so I would bet you have a fuel line that's rotted out and the line was disturbed when taking the gas tank out and that's why it leaking? If not then I really don't know what the issue is with out being able to see it. Or thr other possability is that you have the return line and the vent line back at the tank reversed and the fuel that should be going to the gas tank is filling up the Evap canister.
