Hi, All,

Glad this discussion came up.  Leads me to wonder...

I've been using Ideal clamps from Pep-Boys, American made, but they sure
bite into the hose.

How tight should the clamps be on the fuel and coolant lines?  Barbarian
tight, where the rubber seems to squish throught the clamp threads a
bit? Or reasonably secure, where it doesn't seem to allow for
seepage.

Thanks in advance,

Tom Naylor
