Can you explain why a gap that allows the air to leak into a hose does not leak from that gap with a back pressure of 50 psi on two ports?
With no pressure in the hoses gasoline should leak from that gap, air would not leak in though.
I agree that the crimp style clamps are preferable to the screw type clamp on the small diameters.
