Trust me I've seen fire my hubbies friend was helping with the truck and had a spark plug in well put it this way we had to call the fire department. Oh and I live in a wooden house and gas had already shot all over it out of the cylinders. LOL

I agree. even with the pump running all of the time, the fuel should just run thru the regulator and back to the tank. If the cylinders are filling with fuel, you more than likely need to replace the injectors. They have gotten dirt or something in them and they are not shutting off. They should only pass fuel thru them when the get the pulse from the ecm.
