If it doesn't eat away at you every night while trying to fall asleep I say leave em on. You can always trim 1/2in of the hose off the end that will inevitably be damaged by the inferior clamp and use a good clamp later. (assuming you left yourself a little extra hose) -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Peter DiFalco Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 7:44 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: fuel line replacement When I re-did my fuel tank seals a few weeks ago I just plain ran out of good German clamps and I had to resort to using gear head cheese grater clamps on the supply line from fuel tank to fuel pump. I'm sorry, I know I have sinned! But Sunday is hard day to get that kind of part in a town with no marine supply stores. So... really... am I just wondering whether I should make the extra effort to dump the fuel again to switch out the clamps... or just let it roll for a year or two...? Keeping in mind I live in a dry, no-rust area. -Peter 89 Wolfsburg On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Alistair Bell <albell@shaw.ca> wrote: |
