Hi,
If the fuel leaks out when you are refueling, either the tank is leaking or the filler tube. Have you gotten under the vehicle to check for evidence of where the leak originated?
Also, if it starts easier when you cycle the key, then we either have a weak fuel pump or there is something allowing pressure to drop off. For example, if a fuel injector leaks, you will lose all pressure in the system when the pump is off. If the leak you found is related to the fuel supply line, the same thing can happen.
We need to first locate the leak to determine the source. Once we do that, it will need to be repaired. If the repair doesn't resolve the issue, then a fuel pressure leak-down test will be needed. However, we will cross that bridge if and when we need to.
Let me know.
