Anyone have this before? Had a very heavy right foot this weekend which may have something to do with it

Twas a weekend of caning and then sitting in traffic. Had just filled up so may have spilled some. Will keep under review.

Could eb you overfilled, and some fuel drained down the drain hole in the filler flap onto the floor when you stopped. Looks to me like this is close to the hot discs, so I never over fill.
