Fuel Line and Clamp

Hi,
I looked in McMaster Carr and found the fuel line and clamps but I don't want to make a mistake on size of line and spring clamps. I found the fuel line on page 104 and the spring clamps on page 258. Any help you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated.

Danny,
You have the correct page #, use "the Fuel and Lubricant Yellow
Tygon PVC Tubing" MC # 5552K25 @ 1.40 per ft. This is for 1/4 inch I.D.
You could use these clamps: MC # 5324K53. They fit the 3/8 OD hose but it is recommended to use the special pliers for this type of clamp. Regular pilers slip off when sqeezing the clamp. The pliers are available at most auto stores. You can also use the standard hose clamps but even the smallest ones end up leaving a tail extending past the roller of the clamp. Some guys have had good success using tie-wraps pulled up as tight as possible.
