I didnt know where to post this.. So hopefully future searches will lead the searchies to this.


Dubro makes Fuel Line Clamps.

$2.50 for 4.

This will solve most fuel filter leak related problems.

however, I'm still working on primer fixes.
 
I don't like using fuel line clips, they have a tendency tocut in to the fuel lines, and get in the way more often than not. I prefer to cut a small piece of the same fuel tube, and use a pair of needle nose pliers, or hemos to stretch it over the end of the line. This will hold as tight or tighter than the clips, without damaging the line.
 
true. after a while I'm sure, but doesn't it just make you want to change your fuel line in regular intervals.
 
I change my fuel line regularly anyway, but the clips just seem to cause more problems than benefits. They dont fit easily in tight areas, they cut in to the line, etc. I just found the piece of fuel tubing works far better with none of the issues caused by the clips. And for $2.50 you can get 2 1/2 feet of fuel line and make many many clips, lol.
 
I just stretch a small 1/4 inch piece of fuel line over the end of the fuel line to double it up. Seems to work well.

I tried the clippy's for a while, but like NC said, they do cut into the line.
