Need a little more info.
Year/engine.
What do you mean by "burned through"?

I assume it's a non-supercharged car, so did it melt the plastic upper intake manifold, or did it blow it out, or did it flat-out explode?

Either way, the most likely culprit is actually the fuel-pressure regulator. There was a recall for certain years of the Series 2 N/A motor. It would leak, fill the UIM fill vapors that would then explode when the car was started.

Sounds like an L36 that had the EGR stove pipe burn through.

You need a new one, there's nothing you can do or fix.
