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.
