Nice clamps...but as the hoses harden and/or shrink...they can leak. And...unelss you carry your cutter/crimpers and spares...you can get "left".
Simply buy screw type "fuel-injection" clamps ....available at most flaps for cheap. They don't have those stupid serrations that screw up your hose....like garden hose clamps.
Its what came on the factory fuel injection.

I like the ABA band clamps (right side) that have rolled edges and apply equal force 360 degrees.
