You know, you got a point there.

If you take the spare tire down and out you can poke your head up in there and see the fuel lines. If you have a big head like me, take a digital camera, shove it up there and take a couple of pictures. You'll be able to see where the leak's coming from.

Update: There are apparently two places where
the fuel pump sucks in fuel (in the gas tank). One of the lines came off
on the new fuel pump, here is a picture of the new pump and the two green
arrows indicate the line and the nipple it should be attached to:

Here is how it is supposed to look (old fuel pump):

We have no idea how the hell this happened, but now I am searching for a
way to permanently attach the line so it won't come loose again. I know
that there are certain epoxies that are resistant to gasoline, so we might
try that. This is what caused the low fuel pressure. I
cannot believe that a brand new pump fell apart like this.

Return the part, it is defective.

Don't fix something that isn't your fault, it was defective from the start.
