Default major fuel leak

Just started.

When we start the van we can smell gas. after letting van idle less than 2 minutes and back out of drive there is a puddle of gas in the drive about 3 feet across and a solid trail of fuel following our track just to the drives side of center.

What should I suspect and how do I fix it?

Thank you in advance.

When I turn the key on the fuel is pouring from my fuel filter (engine side) I'm gonna try changing the filter and see if that stops the leak.
