Maybe the vent tubes are dry rotted and have cracks in them?
or the piece of rubber line that connects the steel fuel line to the tank sending unit

the vent lines are all new, all the rubber lines are new with new clamps, is there a way to hook up the vent tubes wrong? the leak is on the driver's side where the vent lines are connected

if memory serves, it's stuffed into a large grommet and the tube is secured to the backside of either the cross memger or the bumper.
yup and those grommets are big sellers...

update: i have found were it is leaking from, it is leaking from the small vent tube, there are 2 vent holes in the tank, 1 is connected to a short piece of vent pipe about 8inches long and the end of it is just open, when i hit my brakes hard the gas comes out this vent tube and runs down my frame and tank the other hose is connected to another vent tube that is run inside the trunk compartment. is this vent tube suppose to be connected to something else and when i took out the tank i did not hook it back up right?
