My preference is to cut off these metal "clamps" (round metal jeeber) with a large pair of side-cutters and use a new fuel line clamp here as well. Faster, more secure, safer. I'd recommend Ken's kit ( http://www.vanagain.com/ ). Top quality with an international flair - 20 Swedish clamps and 10' of German hose.
