Default 96 RAM 1500 spraying fuel

I tried to start it Sunday it dumped fuel from on top of the gas tank and just in front of the firewall.

All I could find on Google was that the rollover valve was recalled but the folks at the Mopar recall center said that it shows to have been replaced.

I had parked it when the transmission went into "limp mode."
I am thinking it may have been low fuel pressure.
It might be cheaper than rebuilding or replacing the transmission.

Has anyone had or heard about a similar situation.

Thanks,
Leonard

I noticed a couple times where it acted like it was in neutral for about a second but when I let off the accelerator re-engaged.

It drove fine and that night when I started home it went into limp mode.
I crept home and parked it until I could put a couple paychecks towards the repair.

When I tried to start it the other day I noticed fuel dripping out from on top of the tank and slightly in front of the firewall.
