Hi folks - to secure fuel hose connections, would you recommend the old style hose clips (original fitment on a Mini I think) or Jubilee clips (as on the radiator hoses)?
Thanks,
Matt

No Jubilee clips are not for fuel hoses. Fuel hose clips are smooth around the inside, the worm drive clips chew up the surface of the hose and tend to cause fuel leaks.

Also to continue on from what Dans said, small jublie clips do not actually tighten up circular and are the cause of leaks.
