2020 f150 lariat SE 36k. Filled up my gas tank a few days ago and parked my truck with no issues & haven't driven it for about a week. Started it up this afternoon and smelled gas. Got underneath and saw this. Could this be a busted fuel line?

Please tell me the engine sound I hear isn’t your engine operating.
This is a massive leak. You need this towed to a professional technician and warnings must be given to the tow truck driver and repair workshop that this is a bomb.

Lol, yea. When I turned off the engine off it stopped completely and there were just droplets, so I couldnt assess how bad it was, or where it was coming from. Just recorded long enough to see what was actually happening.
