Fuel line hose clamp question

[Davidgsx]

When you guys replace your fuel line do you just use hose clamps for replacements?

They should be fine as long as they are stainless steel

I use the good zip tyes with the stainless steel locking tab from McMaster Car. $8 gets you 50 of them.

Hmm,the zip ties would look nicer!

for less than $4 for 10. And free 2-day delivery.

zipties.... i'm way to lazy to screw on clamps.
I've used both, the stainless inserts, and good quality (non Harbor Freight) plastic ones and i've never had one come off.

Something tells me these are not 100% stainless, probably stainless band and rustable screw mech. Best to use 100% stainless like found in marine supply stores or on line (the ones nckb noted above look to be 100% stainless).

Got a McMaster number on these zip ties? I like the idea!

I use zip ties. As said good quality ones, all zip ties are not created equal.

I have done a pull test on a hose clamp vs quality zip tie. I could not get either to come loose.

If going with Zip Ties make sure they are nylon, will hold up to heat and stretching much better. Not that temps under the seat get that extreme, just being cautious and they will last longer...

Hi guys, sooo while I was removing the fuel selector I pulled the rerun line off the tank which was fine as it was the only one that would have been off, it seems the res and on popped off also!!!! I looked in the book and it does not seem to show the Order which they go. Any way of telling?

Just a thought, but if you turn fuel selector to reserve and pinch off reserve hose it should fire up and die if your line is correctly connected to reserve. I assume this would work. Could be wrong.

If you look closely it's marked on the baffle.

I think he means he forgot how they go back on the fuel selector.
IDK if you line it back up on the hull and turn the knob to "on", if a nipple or a line corresponds to that knob position.
Maybe blow through it and find the off position and go from there.

 

[Dimitrge]

It's labeled on both. That's how I was able to put mine back together

Here's a picture of a baffle. The lines weren't labeled on mine. They should be labeled on the selector.
