Gas Spew From Right Rear- Accumulator?

1984 900 non turbo hatchback. Canister-like device presumably the fuel accumulator located above rear axle on right side attached to fuel tank with two tubes on one side and a short approx 2" tube on other side from which about 2 ounces of gas spews onto the back of the muffler and garage floor when ignition key is turned to first position. Spew is accompanied by a whirring sound, presumably the fuel pump priming the injectors. Problem didn't develop slowly, happened all of a sudden. BUT, the first time followed a period of a few hours when the left front of the car was jacked up quite high so I could replace the speedometer cable. I suspect that the almost full fuel tank in a lopsided, unnatural position created pressure or overflow and the problem might self-correct now that the car is level. So, will it self-correct, do I replace the fuel accumulator, Am I wrong entirely about the accumulator, can the accumulator be re-built? Thanks!
