Default 99 Accord fuel leaking after upgrading to inline pump

hello,
I eliminated my stock in-tank fuel pump for an edelbrock in-line pump and now I have fuel leaking from the return system and it appears to be leaking from the framework right in front of the driver side rear tire. Is there anyway I can bypass this area or eliminate the whole evap system? It’s leaking from inside the rear crossmember and i can’t figure out a solution because i can’t get inside the crossmember. The car has sat for several years and it used to not do this. ((

The line that leaks comes out of this. There is a small fuel line that isn’t shown and it is represented by the red line and it is about 10” long and goes to a plastic elbow directly into the cross member. It leaks somewhere from inside the cross member. Fuel pressure is at about 20 psi. It didn’t leak before tho. What i want to do is pull the line off of the elbow and attach to it and run it to the tank and drill a new hole and install it he line into the hole, back into the tank. Will it work?

I tossed the stock in tank pump, so i would have to get another one , but i was thinking that too. Ugh. I really want to use the nice one i got because i have a full built blick from JG Engine Dynamics the i am going to run, once my head gets finished.
