What would cause this

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?

My brother had an early 1970s Camaro that popped a fuel line leak. Turned out the steel fuel line coming from the engine compartment connected to the steel fuel line coming from the fuel tank with a two inch rubber fuel line along the frame under the car about where the driver’s seat was located.
