urgent! leaking fuel at tank fuel lines

[charley240sx]

ok. ive noticed a little while back that the CEL came on and there was a faint raw fuel smell for my 1997 ES300. so i replaced the vsv on the charcoal canister for code 0446. well it came back, after i replaced and reset it, but now im noticing fuel leaking a lot from where the line comes off the fuel tank(a lot as in when i park on a sloped driveway, i can hear dripping from the fuel tank and onto the ground). has anyone else had a problem with these quick disconnect type of lines? it is OEM never been changed before. could the leak possibly be from a faulty charcoal canister? because on my vehicle it is only one line from the tank cover, whereas some camrys i believe are 2 lines.

Please Help
Thank You

i just replaced the lines on my camry. camrys dont have disconnect lines, they only have 14mm lines threaded to 19mm. and you are correct about the number of lines, 2 to the top of the tank and 1 to the rear. they are fairly easy to disconnect assuming there isnt any rust. pull your back seat and open the access panel to the top of the tank and take a look. i would think leaky fuel lines dont leak more depending on the angle of the car when parked. the filler neck and seal for the fuel pump do.

yeah, i mean it doesnt leak at the filler neck/ pump, because the design of my tank dips a little where the pump cover is, it fills with fuel, and on slanted driveways it rolls off the tank splashing on the ground, thats how much fuel is leaking from the lines.

since the tank is pressurized, any back flow should be going back into the tank correct? on mine it actually leaks out of the connection at an alarming rate. im going to get VIN#s pulled and get the correct parts from toyota, and buy a whole new charcoal canister. ahh, how i hate cars.
