Hung Like a Stang

You guys know how on the fuel lines on the tank that have those plastic connecotrs that fit aroudn them and that are really freaking gay and suck and I hate??? Do you think one could just get rid of the plastic connector inside the fuel hose, and use a hose clamp to fit it to the tank? I like that way much better.

the hoses have a plastic tube in them would be hard to have a hose clamp unless u peel back rubber,and put a second rubber hose and 2 clamps on either end...

yeah, thats probably what i'd do. I'm really paranoid that they're not in right and i know that clamps would not leak.

I wouldn't use a clamp. Is yours broken or what? Why do you want to change it?

i don't trust those plastic things really. When I put my fuel pump in I just didnt feel like those "duckbill connectors" worked, and I'd feel better if it was clamped. But I'm assuming that ford used those for a reason, hence my reasoning of asking before doing something that could be stupid.

Leave it alone. They have been using those connectors for years w/o any problems.
