Do you still hear the fuel pump running when off? You might hear it better with the gas cap off.
Have you looked for fuel squirting/ running onto the engine or ground?
If you are sorta lost with vehicles, send us a pic of where you find a problem--distant and closer in, with good descriptions
When you search, use a flashlight, NOT!!!! your cigarette lighter!!! You also may want to keep a fire extinguisher handy while you search!
