Default Gas problems/leaks please help

Hey guys. Kind of in anpickle and I cant find anything else like this. So I just swapped my motor, I now have a y7 block with a y8 head and she runs good but heres the thing.

Took her on her first test run today and all I smelt was gas and went through half a tank in under 10 minutes.. Upon further inspection I'm seeing gas coming out of one of the tubes on the bottom side of the IACV???? has anyone ever heard of this??

Just to be clear when I did the swap I changed every gasket and every nut and bolt is to spec. Someone please help me.

Clearly you've mixed up one of the coolant hoses with the fuel return hose. The fuel return goes from the regulator on the fuel rail to a metal line on the firewall that goes back to the gas tank. The fuel rail is the only part that should contain liquid gasoline.

Thanks man! Thats exactly what was wrong! I figured that out last night haha. But whoever had the car last it looks like they replaced that line with an ordinary hose. Looks like i gotta swap that out. But thanks again man! I appreciate it!
