Massive gas leak thru charcoal can & other symptoms

[zavikan]

Well. Woke the sleeping giant from her 7-8 yr sleep in the garage. Rear brake lines were rotted. Crank sensor needed replacement.

Have had some odd squeaking sounding like it comes from fuel pump area. It's not constant though.

Car surges a bit with light throttle.

Today, car started smelling of gas. Surging became worse. Heavy throttle car ran fine.

Had a long crank time to get her going. Car died when I slowed in traffic. Long crank got her going. Had to keep revs up. Idle would be anywhere between 1k and 250.

Gas needle was dropping quick... When I got home, I found gas massively leaking from the charcoal canister in the front.

I shut the car off ans pulled the canister off just to see what would happen. Once I restarted the car, Gas poured out of the passenger side tube that went to the canister...

Where to start??

***full disclosure***
To complicate things... I did replace the fuel lines around the gas tank around 400 miles ago. I hear flipping them can cause problems... Car has run fine till now though?
