It wasn't leaking from the fittings. This is the original hose and clamp.

Right, the fittings I linked get rid of that shit fuel hose AND fittings and uses your OEM fuel lines that don't suck ass. The fittings nor the hose in your photos are OEM.

Win, win.

3/8th for the flex fuel sensor side, 5/16th for the quick connect fuel fitting sides.

btw, I don't blame you on not understanding it at first. It's a bit of a mind fuck with the fittings.

I ordered this exact part from this link:

Just make sure those 3 bearing fittings are fully engaged when installing. Tug on them hard to make sure they aren't going anywhere.

I'm very crisis adverse so I have serious anxiety about fuel stuff.

Yeah for sure, I've never done any mods like this and all ive smelled all day today was fuel. I refuse to start the car in fear of starting a fire! I'll have to wait until I get the fittings to feel any reassurance I"m doing this right!

That is good. If you smell fuel, 100% something ain't right.

for many water/air automotive applications I like to use T-Bolt clamps and similar. Been a while but I recall Tridon brand for it. Can't speak for fuel-lines.
