Reinsert the "fuel pump" fuse and turn the key to ON position not START. At this point you should be able to inspect and identify the leak point. Once this step is complete you'll have to clean up the spilled fuel again before you attempt to actually start your car. No engine running when you have fuel leaks or gas spilled inside the engine bay.

Amen, I could maybe add to use some brake cleaner to clean your engine.
