Timeline for I had a gas leak and put a new hose on it. It was fine until we put clamps on and now it's leaking again [closed]

| Sep 24, 2016 at 22:34 | comment | added | spicetraders | Fuel injection? What type of clamps are being used? What type fuel line? There are at least five different type of fuel hose clamps, new ones should be used and matched to line type and OEM type. Fuel line has several types and they should not be interchanged. | |
| Sep 24, 2016 at 20:55 | comment | added | dlu | Any chance you could add some photos of the problem area? My first thought is that the hose clamps are too far down the hose (away from the hose fitting) and aren't clamping on the fitting. Instead they are opening up the hose by squeezing on just hose. If the clamp is more than 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch (3 to 6 mm) from the end of the hose, try moving it closer. | |
