Help! Gas poured out of throttle body!

(Note: TPI)
I pulled the air flow connector(I don't know the proper name) that goes from the air filters to the throttle body, and a ton of gas poured out from the throttle body! I had an injector leak, and replaced the only injector that was bad (I thought) ,and the morning I did the job it did the same thing, the entire throttle body and plenum had gas in it. I thought a leaky injector wouild be the culprit, but could it be something else? What's going on????

Either the fuel pressure regulator is leaking through the diaphragm and is filling the plenum via the vacuum reference line. Or the charcoal canister is filled with fuel and is pouring into the plenum.

Can just pull each of the line off and check for the presence of fuel.

If the charcoal canister is filled with fuel, what does that mean?
