Fuel Leak

Today while driving the engine cut out on my 2000 X5 4.4i, and as I opened the door to get out, there was a strong smell of fuel.
Fuel was leaking out from the bottom of the car under the engine, and when I opened the hood there was fuel everywhere on the right side of the engine (facing the back of the car).

In this photo I have circled the part of the fuel line where the fuel seemed to come from.

My question is do I just push the fuel pipe back together? How does this weird fitting work, as I really dont want it to leak again, the fire risk is huge!
