if this happens just after filling up the car then I had this problem. The fuel pipe has cracked on top of the fuel tank, check this by lifting the rear seat and removing the round black rubber covers, bout 5-6 inches big. under one of the two will be the fuel pump/sender depending on if carb'd or injected engine. One pipe coming from the top goes to the engine and the other is the return. My return one had cracked just as it came out of the pump and so when i filled my tank the fuel in the fuel filler leaked out of the crack until it was then below the level of it. Not only a nice risk of fire but basically throwing 1-2litres of fuel straight from pump thru car onto the ground at your expense. if this is what is wrong then, just go down to the scrapyard/parts shop and get one cheap enough off an old one for about £15, remove the two fuel pipes, unscrew the unit, screw in the replacement one and attach the two pipes again. this should sort out your problems. hope this helps and if anyone else has ideas then it could be something completely different.
