Question Lost acceleration

My 2008 Ultra seems to have lost some acceleration. Looking in the gas tank when the kill switch is turned on a slight spray of fuel is visible. When the engine is started the spraying increses I believe due to the increased voltage now applied to the fuel pump. My question is , is any fuel spray normal or is the canister cracked and ready to leave me stranded on the highway of life?.
PS. This is my last week of warranty!

I believe there's a recall on the 2008 Touring models regarding cracked fuel pump housings and lost power.

Take it to the dealer, tomorrow.
