I picked up a spare pressurized tank (6 U.S. / 5 Imperial gallon) on e-Bay and I need to replace the double hose (which I did.) There were no clamps on the original hose on the tank. Does anyone have a source for the original type clamps? If not available, should I just check the local BRP parts dept. for whatever?

Apparently the original clamps need special pliers or or something to install them.

I still have the correct clamps on my original 4 gal. (3.3 Imperial) tank for my AD-12 motor. Can they be reused when I replace the hose on that tank?

The original style clamps are still available from dealers. Part number 301822. About 75 cents each, one of the few parts that aren't priced shy-high.

The "special pliers" are a pair of ordinary pliers with the jaws ground to fit the clamp. But I've clamped a bazillion of them just by working around it a bit at a time with ordinary pliers. Most of those bazillion were being re-used for the 2nd, 3rd, 10th, ?th time.

Many thanks F_R! I appreciate your helpful input.
