Fuel Line Popping Off Fuel Pump

1.2 12v '03 Ibiza...

Reversed the car down the drive and stalled...thought it was a bit strange. Then I could smell petrol.

Opened the door to see a nice stream of petrol trickling down the road.

One of the pipes has popped off the fuel filter (not pump as posted before editing) and I cant work out how to pop it back on...without having jacked the car up to have a closer look as the car is now on the road, it looks like it should just clip back onto the filter...but when I do this and go for a car start, it just pops back off.

Any help appreciated

...anyway...obviously with it being Sunday afternoon (and bank hols tomorrow), I cant find anywhere with one in stock, so have managed to zip tie it all back together to sort out again

You can't find a jubilee clip?

Don't drive the car until you've secured this properly - zip ties are not approriate.
