[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 624791, member: 20098"] I’d be surprised if that Jubilee clip was supplied by VW Aircooled works. It is far too large when you look at how much of the band has come out of the back of the clip. That will be designed for a much larger diameter pipe and you may have the problem that the clamp section is too long and not following the radius of your fuel hose. As such, it won’t be giving a proper clamping force all the way round the hose, and tightening it further can make it worse. Ideally replace it with a proper-sized fuel hose clamp. It will leak when you shut your engine is off because that line is under pressure and the carb isn’t pulling fuel through. The weep will be that pressure dropping away. [/QUOTE]
