Did you drop the tank or lift the bed? If you took the hoses loose, I think the tank pressurizes and there must be a hose clamp or the bung on the tank isn't tight enough or it's washer is uneven.

Did you check that the hoses were not pinched when you put the tank back up.

Just an idea, as I've encountered this problem. Fill the tank with gas, then if you have a set of ramps, pull the front wheels onto it. If o-rings are not seated properly you will begin to leak fuel. My daughter had this happen to her. Had a flat bed hauler come pick it up, and when he started to pull it up, I noticed gas was leaking. Hers wouldn't start. Hope you get it figured out.
