My car leaks gas after running for a while thru the ldp air filter. Replaced leak detection pump, and still have problem. It happens more frequently if more than a half tank of gas. Also misfires and sometimes dies at stop light.

There is also a lot of pressure in gas tank when leak is occuring. I turn car off, go to rear of car, and see gas running out behind passenger rear tire. Loosen gas cap and it de-pressurizes very strongly.

Anyone?

Has the tank vent valve been replaced? It is underhood, just in front of and below the intake manifold.
