HELP!! Huge Engine Problem!?

[SilverMM3]

Hey everyone please let me know if you have heard of anything like this.....please stick only to situations like this.

This morning I went to leave and started my 2006 Mazda 3s. It started like normal, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. About 20 seconds into it running the engine cut out, I thinking maybe it was only early morning low pressure started it up again, it started, but sounded like it was running on only 2 cylinders, giving it any gas and the engine would completely shut down. Upon getting out of the car I noticed an massive fuel smell. I walked behind the car and pouring down my driveway was fuel from the car. It seemed every bit of fuel in the car had poured out! It starts directly below the engine. I can't seem to find anywhere online where this has happened to anyone.

Please let me know what y'all think!!

First time I have heared of that problem. It sounds like maybe a broken fuel line? Jack the car up and have some one turn the key on to cycle the fuel pump and pressurize the system. You might be able to find where the fuel is coming from. Good luck.

Thanks! I actually just went out and lifted the hood and the fuel line from the rail had become disconnected some how. That was why there was fuel running everywhere, thanks for your help!!

That's odd! Maybe a cat or something was under the hood and knocked it off? I hope it reconnected without issue, and stays that way.
