Gasoline leaking everywhere?!?!
So I fill up the gas tank and come home, notice a strong smell of gasoline and see this underneath the car:

Other details:
About a year and a half ago I had the gas tank replaced after noticing a gasoline smell in the interior of my car and having it diagnosed as a cracked gas tank. There was NEVER any visible leak or anything close to what is in the video. I have only put 4000 miles but the part was out of warranty on 01/30/2015. I have not taken it in yet or made any calls (as everything is all ready closed), but can anyone offer any insight or help in this situation. This seems REALLY bad, especially considering this is a part that should not be affected like this after such a short period of time...
Thank to anyone who can help out

holy crap it's leaking real bad... I would get it on jack stands, take the rear wheels off, and get under the car... with a leak that bad it should be pretty obvious where it's coming from

Holy crap! I think I would be rolling the car out of the garage before it fills up with gas fumes! then i would be looking into where the heck thats all coming from. My guess is the crossover tube is cracked or something based off where is dripping from

Yikes. 
Hope you can figure out where it is leaking and get it repaired quickly. And I think I would be pushing for a replacement under some kind of extended warranty coverage (worth a shot).
