Last Saturday I removed my fuel tank to replace every fuel line, vapor line, and clamp. Earlier I ordered hoses and clamps from BelMetric. When the box arrived I sorted through and found several bags of clamps labeled SAMPLE. I didn't order these clamps and I wasn't charged for them. Oh well, I put the sample bags aside.

Back to Saturday, I was halfway through the job and ready to reassemble. My back was holding up well at seven weeks after surgery. Feeling good. And then it happened - I screwed up. I ordered ABA Blue clamps. And these clamps were too stiff to seal the smaller hoses.

Then I remembered the bags of sample clamps. They were ABA-CHP and ABA-CR clamps in various sizes. I tried these clamps and they worked beautifully. BelMetric saved the day.

I can't recall a supplier ever doing this for me before. Someone at BelMetric realized my error and put the correct clamps into the order as free samples.

It is such a good feeling to know someone is looking out for us in these situations. Over the years, I've had a couple of similar experiences. I'm glad you shared this story. I will definitely keep them in mind now and will check out their website. Please consider leaving a review for them on the buyer and seller/vendor thread here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewforum.php?f=14
