You should be using a good band clamp on the fuel lines like the Oetiker band clamps.
These are usually the one eared pinch type clamp and easy to use. The serrated
worm drive clamps you can get from the hardware store really aren't acceptable.
At the very least they should be fuel injection clamps which are a screw
style clamp, but can't slip as the have a nut and screw and apply good 360
circumferential pressure around the fitting. These can be puirchased from any
auto supply house.
All fuel lines should be in fire sleeve and a band clamp like a Band-It clamp used
on them. The ends of the fire sleeve can either be dipped in "End Dip" or
can be wrapped with fire sleeve self vulcanizing tape that has a fire rating like
the fire sleeve it self.

Gaggle:
There is only one worm gear hose clamp that is approved - Uh-oh! APPROVED!
Yes, sometimes one should use approved items; only because they were
tested and have a good history. Well, the item is made by BREEZE EASTERN.
It is a very good quality hose clamp that does not deform on the band and
the wrapping is uniform all around; it is used by the military and GA.
These items are NOT automotive and defiantly NOT Chinese.
Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya chances!
