F10 major gas leak due to fuel pump issue

Hey Guys, I have heard of some fuel pump issues but never similar to this- after filling up my tank I noticed a strong smell of gas. I drove to the office and when I left I noticed again, smell of gas and a large wet spot under the car. I looked but didn't notice anything dripping so drove home.

On looking at the fuel gauge I noticed it was now only half full (or half empty depending on your outlook : ). I pulled up to the house and recorded this:



Car spent a week at the shop (they apparently didn't have a gasket) and the repair order stated: due to wires for fuel pump connector melting causing pins to fall through holes causing fuel leak- performed test and found many fault codes- replaced supply module, socket housing, grommet, fuel pump and socket housing. cleared fault codes.

Anyone else have fuel pouring onto their tank? Is this the fuel pump issue I have heard about or something one off?

My 550 doesn't need help getting rid of fuel

Sounds like something cause the fuel pump connector to over heat, it doesnt sound like the old N54 HPFP problem.

Have you modded your car in any way?

It has Dinan 2 but nothing else at all.

The old N54 HPFP issue is more an internal problem because of a bad part or faulty sensor causing long cranks upon startup or engine stalls. In your case, it's a leak of gasoline but your engine ran smooth as long as there is still enough of it to feed the engine. I'm glad you noticed it right away and took care of it and no one got hurt. From your video, that's a pretty bad leak.
