The hoses are not a loose fit on the filter so even without a clamp they would not leak air, they would of course come loose with pressure in the hose. If the pressure drops in the system very quickly then the regulator in the filter has failed, it is a fairly common problem which you would know if you did a search on the subject. Replacing the filter with one 5hst does not have the regulator in it will mimic the filter with the totally failed regulator.
You need to tell us how an air leak does not result in gasoline leaking through the same gap.
