Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Fuel line ruptured (part number 23801-20150 pipe sub assembly). Fuel was splashing all over the engine compartment and fumes were pouring into the passenger cabin causing nausea. I was able to pull into a work shop where the problem was diagnosed and we could see fuel splashing when the engine was on. I contacted the Lexus dealer who dosent keep the part in stock and wouldnt comment on the problem nor provide any assistance to diagnose or advise cause of the problem.
