On the '92-'95 vans, the pump to tank gasket is a common failure point, and will leak just how you describe. Fix is a new fuel pump, since the old style pump is obsolete, and if its never been replaced, it's on borrowed time anyways. The new style pump will require an adapter harness to work, but the parts store should have it cross-listed with the pump. And I would definitely change the fill and vent hoses on anything that old when dropping the tank.
As for aftermarket, there's not much readily available. You could maybe see if the U-Joint Offroad tank can be retrofitted to your year.
