Was driving home and car quit running like I turned off ignition. Now gas pumps out on ground when I turn on the ignition. No clue what to do?

Hello,

If fuel getting on the ground, you likely have a leak in the fuel line.
Do you know if the leak is below the engine?
You could have a fuel hose pop off and created the leak. That's why you are not getting fuel to the engine.
Check the fuel pressure regulator, make sure the fuel hose is attached to it properly. Look at the diagrams below.
Also visually check to see if you are able to locate the leak.

Let me know what you find.

Thank you.
