Default fuel smell

having a problem with a fuel smell at the back of my 95 formula but can't seem to find a leak but smells like raw fuel after I drive the car for a while smells real bad on the left rear I've replaced the evap cannister. but made no difference. there is a vent tube that goes in above the tank but is not attached to anything(from the evap cannister) didn't know if that tube could go to the top of the tank or not.the tube does'nt seem to go anywhere can't see any clip or bracket that it attaches to. the tube does attach to the air side of the evap can though. it does suck air when the car is running. the tank as far as I can tell without dropping it is not wet anywhere and the lines all look dry as well as the fuel filter. any help would greatly help. this is driving me nuts
