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. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

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!
