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,

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.

But the PO might have had the correct hose, it was the other side of the hose that was leaking.

Yup, I have used that fitting/hose combo before. It works really well, just gotta use the right hose.

Hmmm learn something new everyday

Actually, it was just the cloth braid covered 8mm ID (?) rubber hose forced over the regulator fittings with aircraft clamps at the carb fittings.
Maybe I'm lucky I didn't burn...

google "aeroquip socketless blue"

a great alternative to AN braided lines

OK......I'll bite, what's wrong with SS braided fuel lines??
