2013 F150 V8.

Teaching 14 year old how to drive in an open pasture, he got stuck in mud. Upon pulling vehicle out, spinning tires, the truck starts smoking then a small fire breaks out. Thankfully, tractor had fire extinguisher, immediately put it out. Tow truck back over to the house, truck cranks but wont start. In the attached video, you can see as soon as the Key is inserted, fuel begins pouring out from under the driver side from this fuel line. My question I am wondering is this the inline fuel filter? where it is leaking? And, what material is the fuel line? Is it a rubber hose or is it metal?

 

Fuel filter is in the fuel tank attached to the pump. No inline filters.

Personally I’d just replace the fuel line from the tank to the engine. If you have to splice in a section of line to get the truck back on the road just make sure it can handle the psi the pump puts out.

 

You, uh, seem to have found a pic from 1970. If you are trying to use that to figure out how a 2013 works, you should probably stop. And find a 2013 pic.

 

Here is the print for the 2013 5.0L, maybe it will help you.
