Don't drop the tank. Access to the fuel lines and fuel pump/gauge sensor are made possible by an access cover. Access cover is located behind the rear seat (in the trunk on sedans).

Right, the tank has a big round deal under the carpet of your trunk/bed of wagon. There is a seal on it that fails. If you have already replaced all the parts on the evap system... then check that seal. Have you checked the evap lines? I had a short chunk of rubber hose on mine with no clamps, and it was very cracked. very leaky...
