I've had this happen on two 5ktq's now, and my guess is the fuel pump check
valve.  That's what it was in both my cases.  Don't cheap out though.  Buy a
whole new fuel pump (which will come with a new check valve) which will save
you more headache in the future.  Cal Rod @ TPC (1-800-472-1144) or GPR for
cheapest prices.  I think I got mine from GPR (German Parts and
Restoration).
