Hose clamps
#13
The crimp on type work. As stated before the worm drive type can cut the hose, they are OK if your careful. Unfortunately I've seen some very low quality worm drive clamps.
I prefer to use the spring type or some that are a solid band that you tighten with a screw. With these types you do have to have exactly the right size for the hose.

I prefer the constant pressure clamps (like the ones that come with auto fuel filters) over screw clamps. can get them anywhere and never have to worry about them loosten up or over tighten.

Working on a farm we use screw clamps everyday with all of our chemical, water, equipment lines (except hydraulic). If you are cutting the hose with a screw clamp you should not be running a screwdriver. I have never cut through a hose with a screw clamp, and let me tell you about some of the old crappy hoses we work with.

Worm gear clamps can cut the hose?
No chit……..if you over tighten the crap out of it.
News flash……..worm gear clamps have been used on vehicles for decades…use your head when putting them on and they'll be just fine.
You think MOCO uses the disposable ones because they're better or cheaper?

I use black zip ties for fuel and vent lines. The higher quality ones like Wurth sells, not the cheapie ones you get at discount parts stores. The better ones have a metal lock tab inside the head. But I do keep a small pair of worm drive clamps in my toolbag just in case. If your thinking they would melt, I also have a zip-tie on each pushrod tube through the little loop to hold that sh!tty half-round piece of pipe against the upper tube assembly (the one that likes to work itself out of place over time on Evo motors). Going on two years and the same black plasic ties are still intact.
