My fuel system is pressurising, and the tank and been dropped and checked over.
The charcoal canister was removed and the line plugged, I thought this might be part of the problem so today I unplugged it and went for a drive. Got home, smelt fuel and had a look...fuel was running out of the previously plugged charcoal canister line and onto the garage floor!
This has got to be a problem with fuel line plumbing?

Nope lol, If the line was plugged then obviously all the fumes have nowhere to go and just built up pressure. When you unplugged it the fumes could easily escape, and without a charcoal chamber to hold the fumes, you're just going to get fuel running out that line.
Your best bet without a charcoal chamber is either, if you have an EFI setup I wouldn't worry about it because the pressure your pump pumps at, would be much more pressure than fumes could create, so just plug the line again. If you do have a carby setup, a breathable fuel cap would be a good idea, but keep in mind you'll lose a bit of fuel from it.
