While on a test flight, in a new homebuilt experimental airplane, a fuel leak into the cockpit occurred. The pilot declared an emergency, and during final approach to land, a fire developed in the cockpit. The pilot ground looped the airplane on the runway in front of the tower. Fixed base operator personnel extinguished the fire and removed the seriously injured pilot from the airplane. Due to thermal damage, the source of the fuel leak and subsequent fire was not found.
Probable Cause: an in-flight fire, which originated from a fuel leak of unknown origin.
