What's the easiest way to get the metal crimp-type clamps off the rubber fuel lines? Should I cut them off with a saw/cutter or is there a way to cut the fuel hose out from it. I was thinking of getting these clamps for the replacements. Maybe the #8 for the 5mm ID hoses? http://www.ultimategarage.com/abaprice.html I'm actually still trying to find 12mm fuel hose to connect the tank to the fuel pump. I guess this section isn't pressured, but the original hose looked pretty sturdy. 12mm is about 1/2", so the hose below should work. http://www.fuelpolishing.com/item1885.htm The other option is to buy the 12mm hose here. Though, it isn't real clear to me that it is reinforced. http://www.ultimategarage.com/fuelpmp.html I looked at the vanagain site, but couldn't find 12mm fuel hose. Should I even be worried about this? I've stopped some of the leaks, but it appears that something is still leaking, so I'm going to drop the gas tank and replace all the bits... Kind of unfortunate since the dirt is getting in my eyes and mouth :-( -- Craig
