Source small hose clamps

[askikr79]

I replaced my return lines with 1/4" id tygon 4040 and I am having trouble getting fuel injection clamps that are small enough for 3/8 OD.

I tried using some zip ties but they don't seem to cut it. Small hose clamps dont work either they bend befor tighting around the fuel line.

Any body have a source?

i got some small constant tension hose clamps from napa for my return lines.

If you can't find some, old mercedes diesels use the same style constant tension clamp. they come 12 to a pack to do a 5 cyl mb diesel. the same clamps are also used on a gm diesel which can be had easily. i think even dorman sells the spring clamps for them in a pack.

It was a downfall of using the thinner tygon hose vs the thicker rubber stuff.

I just got some small hose clamps from my local A-Line Autoparts, I am using standard 1/4" ID rubber fuel line but they seem to work fine for that.
