Fuel Leak

I have a 2001 9-5 lpt and have recently been experiencing a spate of major fuel leaks. The first time the supply fuel line became disconnected at the fuel pump end and the mechanic replaced an O ring and reconnected. This was okay for about 1 month when I then experienced another fuel leak, at the fuel pump again (My suspicion is that either the force of the pumping fuel, or body flex, is causing these fuel line disconnects). This time the yellow retaining hook/clip was broken, the one that holds down the (white) fuel supply valve. The value then became disconnected. I took it to a different mechanic and he ‘crazy glued’ the retaining hook back on. He indicated that he has seen this problem with older Saabs and permanently fixed it in this manner. He has not seen this problem with the 9-5’s. The re-attached retaining clip is coming apart once again. Is anyone familiar with this issue and does anyone have a permanent solution? Thanks!
