Check to see if the fuel rail is tight? And check to see if the o-rings for the injectors are pinched/torn/worn.

Maybe a leak in the fuel line near the tank? I would get it fixed or at least looked at. Wouldnt want to be driving down the interstate and have you back seat go up in flames.

Did you overfill the gas tank? How long has it been doing it?
