Probably both. The system is designed to be pressurized at all times to eliminate vapor lock (fuel vaporizing inside the lines which results in poor hot starting). The Bentley manual recommends starting the engine, then pull out the fuel pump relay. Car runs out of gas basically, no residual pressure. I was quite surprised at just how much fuel did leak out (couldn't be bothered to let off pressure)... do yourself a favor and unscrew your gas tank cap to vent the pressure too before you start.... it's a large pressurized air reservoir that can displace a LOT of fuel.
