Petrol squirt

Hi all. Started my B5 2017 EU4 Bullet this morning. Felt a cold damp feeling down left thigh. Oh no not incontinence I thought. Was a jet of petrol from junction of pipe to fuel pump. The white plastic spigot on the pump base that the exit pipe clips on to has split. Not been disturbed so don't know why. Anyone experienced this? Presumably it's a new pump and need to remove the tank? Would be grateful for advice.

Plastic would be very brittle with the low temps now. Doesn't take much force to snap them.
