Thanks Pete. I often forget the jungle has fittings like that. My luck the bin at Ace is empty and can always use more than one.

@WHX??  no problem ,  another thing I do on the barb end is to slide on the squeeze hose clamp first away from installation hose area . also like a tiny swipe of dielectric grease , or super lube  on the barb end , makes the fitting much easier , yet still making for a solid barb bite . then its easy to  square nose plyer the  spring hose clamp up to place . they also have that fitting in a straight version , just used some on an electric fuel pump upgrade , clear fuel vinyl line , Pete

 slide on the squeeze hose clamp

 

Handy tool for squeeze type hose clamps. Gets in those hard to reach places.

High grade rubber fuel hose and stainless steel clamps for me. None of that "get brittle in a year" vinyl hose / spring clamp and gas leaking in the garage!

I use those spring clamps religiously Squonky and never have a leak. Those cheap jungle filters now a different story.

@WHX??  found the dark green , 5/16  spring clamp is spot on , colors on that type of clamp , verifies size / fit , leave the clamp out of the way while mounting the set up , detail fit , squeeze  / slide clamp into place . no  leaks / problems , always bring a small piece of hose along , when clamp shopping, verify fit , good talking , Pete

I have seen those clamps break as well as the vinyl hoses crack and fall off. Maybe I'm too sensitive but in my Napa days 3 customers lost shops due to gas lines dripping and starting a fire.

@WHX?? since  putting STA BIL  in every bit of my , fuel  related anything  have zero debris in filters , at my change over time , from tank forward its all clean ,  the additive does not break down hoses . that goes for , stand by generator and walking snow blower . if you have a fuel / grunge problem , don't expect  any additive to suddenly eliminate the issue . clean out the crap / grunge , then add STA BIL  to all your fuel . filter close to tank , clean , filter close to carb  clean , no leaks or hose break down . years now , this must work .
