<< Yes I have a gas leak. It is in the back of my 73 BGT. I filled up today
and
the fumes were very bad. got home and looked by spare tire and there is a
little puddle by the filler tube and in right fender. My questions are:
1) does the vapor canister in right rear fender supposed to have any
charcoal
in it like the one in front? When I knock on it it sounds empty.

The canister is empty, The lines to the canister are where your leaks
are likely occurring. I bought new gas line for mine at the local parts
store. Use the ends from the lines in and out of the canister on the new
lines using hose clamps. If you take the braiding off the old lines your
will find very badly cracked hoses. Least this was all true on my 73 BGT.
Mine seemed to leak only when I filled the tank completely, Bad fumes then.
Good luck.
