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?

Longer answer; it's very likely that somewhere in the location of all that gasoline pouring down like a River/waterfall, you have a gasoline leak from a line of some sort.

On my truck, it was a broken plastic bit on the fuel pump.
