I use fuel injection Hose Clamps. You may be able to get them at a local auto parts store or car dealer. I ordered them from the link below..

Stainless hose clamps work just fine.
Been using then on all marine equipment as long as I can remember and my Dad for as long as he can remember as well.

I agree. Just don't overtighten them, especially on plastic or nylon fittings. Still, there are some spots on some outboards where they won't fit.

I've been using home depot cable ties for years with no problems. Not on fuel tank/line fittings, but under the cowl. Old carbed motor - I can't speak for FI........

Agreed, knowing when it's tight enough is the key to success !!!!
