Hi Thomas ,
Sounds like you have a nice car . IMO the TCF series was the best 
sidescreen TR ever built . 
Normally fuel should not drain back from the float chambers 
through the pump as the inlets are on the top covers.
Perhaps the jet seals are leaking slightly ? or the float chamber 
banjo seals ?
Good luck ,
