Default Leak after fuel pump replacement

Hey, I think I may have pulled a stupid move and put the vent line on the return and vice versa. Is that even possible? I had a really hard time getting the 'return' line back on.
I know they are all diff sizes, but I'm pretty sure that's what I did.
When I run the truck after a little bit the vent solenoid? starts pouring fuel out and I can hear the vapour canister draining!
If anyone can just IM me that'd be awesome, it's raining out, I need another e-test and have to renew my plates ASAP.

NVM, I did switch them. I traced the lines back and sure enough the return line was on the vent port and the vent line was on the return port of the pump.....ugh.

The purge canister is designed to handle fuel vapor only. If/when it is subjected to raw fuel, it must be replaced. It will start setting EVAP DTC's and when you e-test, they'll find it, and the vehicle will fail. They're easy to install and only run ~$100.

Same thing can happen if you overfill the fuel tank, mainly in the Summer. Cold fuel comes out of the ground, vehicle parked on a 120 degree parking lot, fuel expands, floods the canister.
