Description of the problem	After i turn the car off, the fuel hose connected to the high pressure fuel pumps doesn't pops off and gasoline leaks all over my engine. This started happens repeatedly now. When i get into my car, it is filled with the smell of the gasoline that is leaking because the hose doesn't stay on the fuel pump. I have to pop open my hood and slide the hose onto the fuel pump before i start driving. I've tried using different brackets to keep the hose tight on the fuel pump, however, the hose keeps on falling off. I'm not sure what else i can do, and i can't imagine how dangerous it is that there are pools of gasoline sitting around my engine.
