Default Gas in the Charcoal Canister

I had issues accelerating, thread posted here: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...eleration.html

What is driving me to this, I chased down the line from the evap purge valve back to the charcoal canaster. I noticed the shield was recently wet and eventually found that overflow line out of the vapor canister. I will need some help here.
I read through this thread:

I am very hesitant about fixing this mostly it's gas and that kind of work can be dangerous and it's a real mess under the car. In reading the above thread, I don't think there was ever a resolution. Here is my picture dump of what I found.

I pulled the pan and noticed the wet at the end.

The fuel filter had been replaced sometime in the past. Notice the screw clamps instead of the factory perm clamps.

Here is a picture of the charcoal canister. Notice the cleaner spot in the center from the outlet. Yeah gas was coming out.

I tilted the outlet line and got gas dumped over my right arm.
Nothing like the tingles of gas on your arm.

I cleaned up the shield cover and reduced the nasty.



I put the shield back on and decided this would be best handled on another day.
