My 1989 Silverado had a strange condition one time- I had hired the step son of a coworker, fresh out of mechanics school, to drop the fuel tank and replace the pump and level sender. He crossed the lines putting it back together, and the fuel injection return line filled the charcoal canister with fuel. When running under load,it was barely noticeable, but at idle it ran rough. It was flooding out as the canister vents off to the intake manifold for the vacuum to draw in the fuel fumes, now it was getting raw gas.
I took it to a muffler shop as the exhaust sounded like it had a leak, and when they pulled it on the hoist, the engine kept running even with the key off and removed from the ignition. We watched it run for a few minutes as we tried this and that, even disconnected the wires to the injector- no change. almost ran well enough to move it that way. Once we got it smothered, we found fuel leaking from the canister. That led to the hoses into the canister, and back to the tank. Boroscope showed the crossed lines on top of the tank where he had cut them and spliced back together. Needless to say, he did not get the chance to fix it.
