I was running my car pretty hard today, and I started smelling gasoline. I popped the hood and saw a steady stream of fuel pouring out of the return line. My car has an RB intake with an edelbrock carb. The fuel return wasnt hooked up when I got the car, just sticking out into the engine compartment. I noticed a problem once before, after running it very hard, the gas smell, and puddles of gas on top of my engine, at that time it wasnt coming out and I couldnt find where the fuel was coming from. Now I know my tank is pressurizing and pushing gas up through the return. It wouldnt stop coming out until I pulled the gas cap. What should I check for, what should I do? Is this a sign of a bigger problem, or do I just need to plug off the return line?
Thanks again guys

2 things, cap that line, and fix your fuel vent system. Theres a valve just in front of the gas tank (above the spare tire well) that controls the venting, and also could be your charcol cannister or the vent line itself.

would blowing compressed are back through the vent work? as far as the charcoal canister, you mean he one under the hood right? its gone
