Gilles,

there is a vent line also you could have popped off. It runs right next to the fuel supply line. All of the lines run under your drivers seat (under the car)

If you damaged the main feed line, you'd have gas everywhere under the car (but) it would collect first in the undertrays before it spills over onto the ground.

Without jacking up the car and removing the undertray in front of the engine, you *can* pull that front cover off and look down (with a flashlight) and see all the hose connections under the car (but above the undertray) If you are facing the front engine cover, look down and to the right (what would be behind the drivers seat, but in the engine compartment) aim the flashlight in what would be the 5pm postion on a clock. The center tunnel being 6pm on a clock (for reference)

If you can? take pictures. I diagnose problems worldwide via email and digital pics
