Thanks for the suggestions

I like to use "CLIC" hose clamps on fuel hoses. Same as what the European OEMs use. You need a special tool to install - A Chinese knock off tool is quite inexpensive.

It's not possible to overtighten using these clamps and furthermore they have a degree of springiness to maintain tension over time.
