That fuel has sat in the hose for three years, betcha.
I am just talking from the armchair but if the hose was filled gas could it seep out at the clamps? I mean, it had a little time.
Are the hoses fuel hose or vapor hose? I don't know if it should matter, but maybe.
Is the charcoal canister system working in the rear end of the car? There should be air box intake vacuum applied to the expansion tank system to pull vapors through. Don't know if it's strong enough to pull a slug of gas through the fender and deposit it into the expansion tank, tho.
