When i add gas to tank at the point where fill tube meets gas tank theirs a bad leak...will this cause the vehicaal to run bad? vehicle loses power when accelerating or shifting gears.....failed emission test HC PPM READING...485 ALLOWED...189

Yes. Your fuel system cannot leak at all. If it does it will fail every time. This needs to be fixed before it will pass emissions test.
