I had the same problem. It is probably the line that goes from the fuel tank to the exhast, it probably has a hole or leak in it. You just need to get a new fuel line (there cheap), and take the old one off. unscrew fuel tank, put new line on (make sure its on there tight), and reconnect to the exhaust. It will not start right away as it will need to build up pressure.

The line that connects the fuel tank to the exhaust isnt a fuel line, its a pressure line. if that has a leak the pressure is being let out so the engine does not have enough pressure to run. Your fuel line is fine being that the car is running, however if the leak gets worse the car wont run and you cant get it started until you replace that line. Try to notice if anything else aroung the engine is wet.

If you bottom out alot than you could of punctured something underneath. I fI were you I would just get a new set of lines and replace them.
A quick question, is it definitely fuel that is leaking or something else?
