Almost Up In Flames

Not 2 hours after reading Bob Hoover's blog about vw's and their fire hazards, I was heading home, about 11:30, down the interstate. Low and behold, all the sudden I lose power and my car dies. Open the door, smell gas, went "OH SHIT" and grabbed my fire extinguisher and pulled out the pin, ran to the back, no fire, but opened the decklid and gas just poured out. The fuel hose had come off of the T that connects to the 5th injector (it's a stock 76 fuel injected beetle) right above the alternator. I got REALLY lucky. All the fuel hose is about 4 months old, made sure to get the right size and made sure it could handle the pressure that my fuel system puts in it. I was sure I had those connections tight. Is there anything that would make it pop off? Now I'm driving around with my fire extinguisher right next to my shifter ready to go, constantly eyeing out the rear mirror looking for flames. Everytime I get somewhere I go back and check for fuel leaks. Very paranoid.
