Default Connecting Fuel Pipes....

I have seen several fuel setup's simply with fuel hose and then circlips (whatever they are called) clamping the fuel hose to the pipes.

Is this a good enough connection or do they risk coming off under pressure ??

I'm trying to avoid an expensive purchase of some aeroquip connectors at the moment as things are tight.

Cheers
Chris.

I did a par fuel rail setup on my car and used jubilee clips. After a major fuel leak and a serious code brown moment they're all areoquip now.

I was lucky but have friends who weren't.
