Check your fuel line for cracks and all of your connections for any leaks. It sounds like air is being let into your fuel line when the motor is shut off and losing prime so the fuel runs back into the tank. Also check placement of your fuel pump. If you have an electric pump they are pushers and not really designed to pull fluids. They are the most effecient when placed close to the fuel tank. I had the same problem some years ago and finally replaced all of my rubber fuel hoses because the old ones were dry rotting, hard and cracking. This resolved the problem for me. Good luck.
