Fuel leaking from the purge canister

**fred** · #1 September 5th 06, 07:53 AM posted to rec.autos.tech

Hi, my car is 1993 corolla. After driving a while, a lot of fuel is
leaking from the purge canister, and it stops leaking when I open the
gas tank cap. I can drive with loosing the cap and there is no leaking
happen again.

I just replaced a new gas tank recently and I wonder if the leaking is
caused by the improper installation of the gas tank?

Can anyone give me help to figure out what problems cause the fuel
leaking?

Thanks,
Fred

Hoses at the tank are routed incorrectly ...
