rubber band??? DUDE.. i LOVE me a zip tie.. give it a shot 
actually .. if the fuel line came disconnected from the fuel pump down by the tank.. that means the clip is busted.. you can go get a new clip for cheap.. bet a junk yard / salvage yard will give ya one for free

you probably cant use a rubber band or zip tie on it, it is probably the type that has a spring loaded clip which is probably broken... I have 1 suggestion for you, go get a can of plastic spray (Plasti-dip iirc) and plug the end of the metal line and spray the outside of the line with it. this will give the line something to not so slick to grab onto when installed, or get a new line.
