Fixing a fuel hose leak on a carbed car and found these:
They were used on Holley fuel pressure regulator, with no hose clamps; the leakage was at the carb end of the hose though. Are these something special for fuel systems or am I better off using a standard hose barb fitting? Thanks, Harvey Attached image(s)

Looks like a hose repair fitting...as in garden hose.
Ditch it and get some standard barbed fittings and good clamps. |

To you it might look like that, but to me it looks like a "push loc" fitting for automotive use. Takes special hose, though, which I'm sure it didn't have. Used properly, it works much better than that SS braided cr*p. The Cap'n |

Use steel braided hose and die....
The push on lock stuff is pretty good....as long as the proper hose and barb end are used. |

Yup, I have used that fitting/hose combo before. It works really well, just gotta use the right hose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Actually, it was just the cloth braid covered 8mm ID (?) rubber hose forced over the regulator fittings with aircraft clamps at the carb fittings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Maybe I'm lucky I didn't burn... Thanks, Harvey |
