Or maybe one of the several rubber hoses that go to the gas tank.

Hopefully photos will help.

your photo is the air filter for the charcoal EVAP canister. If you had raw gasoline coming out of that, you do have a serious problem. The EVAP canister should not have gasoline in it. AFAIK, the only connection between the gas tank and the EVAP canister would be the vacuum line with the the Vacuum Cut Valve in it. How that line would be getting gas in it, I don't know.

Your filler neck assembly is rusted through, that's where the gas is coming from. It's pretty common too.
