Best hose clamps?

[Abomb27]

Hi everyone,
I tried searching the forum and I couldn't find anything. I have the regular worm drive clamps on my fuel lines. The ones you can get at any hardware store. Once in a while they will loosen. What is the best kind of clamps to use for fuel lines? I was running lean today do to loose clamps.

I use the cable tie type clamps, I have the proper tool to tension the cable tie properly.

That works well on the 3/8" fuel line? Where do they sell that tool. Thanks

Contact a Bombardier dealer ask for their "snap clamps." The don't abrade the hose like the screw clamps and they are easy to work with.

NAPA has "fuel injection hose clamps" that are great for fuel or oil lines.

I'd try the ones Schematic suggested. You can still remove them if you have to without damaging the hose.

Those look like they would hold nicely

+1 for fuel injection clamps. Just make sure you get the right size for the hose, the have less adjustment range than typical worm drive clamps. Also Napa should have the spring loaded fuel line clamps, again just make sure they fit the hoses correctly.
