Default Stupid problem with in-line pump

Just put in the 255 inline pump....have fuel injection clamps on both ends but they don't seem like they are as tight as they can be..but when i tighten them more...it starts to leak...

so i figure i can put another clamp on each side, but when i do that and tighten the extra clamp, it starts to leak again...

im worried about a full WOT run and losing fuel pressure due to one of these clamps not holding

any thoughts? track opens on friday and i plan on running

Are you sure you have the clamp in the right place? In other words, the clamp should be over the outlet nipple? Are they new hoses? Maybe your hoses need replacing......

try different style fittings / different style clamps

sounds like your hose is too big for the fitting and is bunching up on it
