The Corbin Clamps are solid. I used them inside the tank and on the connector hose under the backbone. I have never seen them leak or come apart. These are common clamps used by manufacturers on most vehicles. They sure look nicer than a chrome screw up hose clamp.
A lot cheaper from Napa too. Good to know for the future.

Clamps are not stainless, you may ask Napa or your parts store if stainless is available.

The hose part numbers are good to keep locked away somewhere for future reference. Napa just packages Gates Submersible Fuel line.

I ordered the gates submersible fuel hose but I went with stainless fuel line clamps which I trust more for high pressure setups. I have used those clamps on fuel systems that make 75+ psi without having them cut swelling fuel hose

I am accualy upgrading my entire fuel system. I was going to use the ptfe fuel hose, which I have never had a problem with in the past cause it has can make more aggressive bends than the gates hose which I have had kink on me and swell under pressure so if the wrong clamps are used it will blow off or get cut. I can see Corbin clamps working fine without cutting the hose but I don't trust them for clamp force. But after reading I see the ptfe lines get holes due to rubbing on the tank which 30r10 submersible hose can handle better plus the harley fuel system does not have any sharp turns like when I used it in a dual pump setup in my cobra where I swapped the gates hose back to ptfe hose.

Where I ordered the clamps

I don't need all of them so if you can't source them I will ship you the four you need free of charge

Thanks brother!

I may need two, I am resourceful, if I need a couple, I will PM you! I have a few places locally that may be able to help me out.

Those are indeed fuel lines.
