Best fuel line clamps?

[jerry598]

What are the best fuel line hose clamps for those hard to reach places like the fuel filter and the fuel tank lines over the bell housing? I've heard of 'constant torque' clamps but don't know what they are. Are they the same as the spring type clamps seen on most OEM engines?

On other rigs I've had problems with screw clamps leaking.

constant torque clamps.. they look like an ordinary screw type clamp except when you tighten the screw it puts pressure on a spring. That way when a bit of slack appears the spring takes up the difference. HD trucks and construction equipment use these almost exclusively. I haven't seen one of these leak yet.

Thanks Duane! Hopefully they come in a small enough size for the 6.5 application. I'll look for them.

Contact John Kennedy (http://www.kennedydiesel.com). He includes them with his filter kits. If he doesn't have the size you need, he can probably tell you where to get them.
