Fuel tank has been replaced twice with used component. Compressed air blown through all lines and hoses. Canister vent solenoid is open and free flowing.

For the fuel to come out like that, there has to be something plugged. Double check vent hoses to make sure nothing is getting kinked when the tank is installed.
