Do you mean the short lengths of vacuum hose connecting the plastic
lines to the fenderwell tank nipples? If so, yes, several times.

Whatever small skinny screw-type hose clamps they have.  I think I've
typically gotten the ones Ken Wilford sells which are quite
narrow.  You don't need a lot of clamping force and you do want to
minimize tightening effort in case the nipples have gotten brittle.

ps - Eudora (my mailer program) thinks that my saying "nipples" twice
in one message is scandalous.  Now I've made it thrice, so it will
probably have a hissy.  It's for little moments like these that I
leave the "mood warning" feature turned on...for some reason I enjoy
pulling the wings off software.
