Fuel hose clamps
Hi all,
Am looking to strip down my FBH to see if I can get it going before the winter, the only issue with taking it out is the clamps for the fuel line they look like they might be single use. I can’t seem to find any hose clips that go that small.
Does anyone know what to use instead on the OE ones

Generally you can reuse the old one if you're careful removing it. There is a release tool for that type of clip, but even if it's goosed any small clip that can squeeze the line will be fine.
There is no pressure in the line, it's only a dosing pump! yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

They look the part
What size did you get ?
And what did you use to squeeze them together ?

I think it says 10-12 and you can get the proper pliers to apply these clips. Nail pullers or end pincers work just the same.Richard

From memory, when I took my FBH out to replace it, I didn’t disturb these, I disconnected the plastic pipe further down in the front l/h wheel well (one of those quick release couplings). The new unit had that pipe fitted already, so there was no faffing required with those clips at all.D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump.
