Default Fuel Tank Vent Hose Routing Help (Please)

I'm a little worried here. Don't want a fire. I just discovered that my gas tank has way too much pressure in it. The pressure is forcing gas out of the top of the tank seal (somewhere) and leaking down under the tank. Not a lot, but any is a concern. I have checked the connections on the vent piping. It must be connected wrong. The guy who restored my car has not tied the charcoal canister into the loop at all. It's just mounted up there with no hoses attached at all. Isn't there supposed to be a hose connection between the vapor/liquid separator behind the back seat and the underhood charcoal filter in the engine compartment that connects to a vacuum port on the engine? How else can the tank stay stay unpressurised. I think it is totally capped off and can't de-pressurize.

This is a little scary, I gotta get this fixed.


thanks,
Eddie
