Another possibility is a split fuel line under the bonnet. When you accelerate hard the torque of the engine can tug on the fuel line causing the split to leak fuel. When idling with the bonnet up all seems fine. Try pulling away with the handbrake on whilst someone looks under the bonnet (from the side of the car so you don't squash them).
