Two things-

1 - factory hose is 11/32. it's a minute difference, but it's a difference.

2 - pick-up what is labeled as 'fuel injection hose clamps'. They have a true 360 degree clamping that is much better than typical worm-drive clamps.


that's assuming I clearly understand what you are referring to....
