Hose clamps

[Scooter6]

Hi all this is a personal preferance question I am replacing the fuel lines and I also have a belly tank, now I had two different style fuel hose clamps the single wire stock spring clamps and the ones I got with the belly tank. The ones I got with the belly tank were a wider spring clamp with two prongs on one side and one on the other . I am replacing the clamps also but was wondering what style clamps do you prefer. I am wondering if the spring clamps are enough which held good for 4 years until I started to move the hoses around and I developed a slight leak , buy the way the hoses were starting to get hard or use a screw type hose clamp? Thanks for your responses, Scooter6

Scooter, I just replaced my lines with 5/16ths fuel line and used the type of clamp that came with the belly tank.  I found them easier to move around.

This is my opinion only.

I have found if I'm moving/playing with the clamp before hose replacement, I use the flat full circle type.

If I put a hose on an forget it I use the round spring type with the 2 buttons on them.

You can break the initial seal the hose has to the pipe, the spring clamp will never reseal, the circle clamp can and usually will reseal.....

here's what I use when I do any work (i.e. i pulled my tank this weekend to replace the fuel line and almost all connections got these)
