It sounds to me like the previous owner tried to fix the broken fuel level sensor and botched the job.
Probably the fuel filler hose slipped off the tank when someone lowered it too far and that's why some of the gas spills. And the same thing happened to the evap hoses.
It's easier to take off the bed. Then you can see the top of the tank and make sure everything is connected properly.

NO. You have a leak, something is loose, cracked, disconnected etc.
You must fix this before you end up on fire.
If you can't jump into it as suggested in the prior thread, take it to a shop and have the leak fixed along with your CEL issues. Your fuel and Evap codes will probably go away with the leak fix. Your EGR codes might be related because of an improperly attached or disconnected vacuum line somewhere.
Good luck.

Fuel tank pressure sensor, could be related:

"high input" might mean it's hooked up wrong, bad sensor, or something is allowing pressure to build in the tank because it's plugged.
