LARRY'B FUEL LINE KIT FH-10

[savage54]

I bought Larry'sB fuel line kit FH-10 which is the two lines in the engine compartment. My question is the clamps they have in the kit says its 3/8 to 7/8, but when you tighten them down ,they don't clamp tight enough on the 3/8 hose and are not even close to work on the 5/16 hose. Has any body have the same problems ? I compared them to my 5/16 to 3/8 breeze liner clamps I used on the 74 bronco's fuel line you can see how off the kit clamps are. what clamps have you guys use?

Personally, I would toss those hose clamps. Even if you have the correct size, that style of hose clamp will not stay tight and will likely leak. After retightening a couple of times, the clamp will distort and begin cutting into the fuel hose. The more of these clamps you use, the more you will be chasing fuel leaks.

I would purchase and install constant tension hose clamps. They won't leak and they handle thermal expansion / contraction and vibration very well. You can get them at your local auto parts store.

I know this doesn't help you right now, but it will save you from a lot of unnecessary stress in the future.
