Double check the metal line connections with a wrench. And the rubber line hose clamp (?). With the motor off.....But I bet it is replacement time.

Worse case, if you didn’t want to replumb, you could cut the tube, add hose fittings and splice in a piece of fuel rated hose.

Are you sure you have the correct "flare" on the end of the metal line that connects (goes inside) the fuel pump? Also looks like you do not have the threaded part (B nut) threaded enough into the fixed nut. Where the drip is.

I would take the B nut and line out. Somehow look inside the fuel pump (with out having to remove it) and the inside of the fitting and make sure that angle matches the line end flare. Then put the line back on, push is all the way on and into the pump. Then while holding it tight on.in there and sort of wiggling it then tighten the B nut (the one that slides down the line) and try it again.

Is it a new pump? I had the exact leak when I replaced mine. I went through three new metal fuel lines from LMC (none of them were an exact match to the original btw) before I realized the flare on the intake side of the pump was damaged causing the leak. Got another new pump and all went together well. YMMV.

LMC.... NOT the only place to shop for Ford truck parts. You know there is a way to cut off and re-flare that line. Or get a threaded stub to free line adapter and go from metal to rubber.

They are thick to put more space between your hot intake and fuel bowl so you dont boil your fuel and have it spill into the engine
