Harry,
When my '88 GL started this, I thought at first like you. Then after
putting it off for just a bit - I fueled up, then went into the gas
station to pay, and on looking out at my van saw an ominous and sizable
wet spot on the concrete beneath the front of the van between the
wheels. I went out, PUSHED the van away from the spot, and drove until
some fuel was burned off. Then went home and drained the rest. It was
time to drop the tank and check all rubber and plastic connections to
the tank. I'm glad I did. Lots of rotten stuff on top.

I suggest you might need to do the same. Fuel leaking up under there is
nothing to fool with.
