When you fill the tank, do you stop when the pump first clicks off?

Start with checking fuel pump pressure. Pay attention to pressure drop off. That is when the key is turned off and the pump stops. THe system should hold pressure for awhile. If it quickly drops to 0psi, there is a fuel leak.

Let me know what you find. If you need directions, let me know.
