Silicone hose switchover question

[shadowman1977]

Hey all, has anyone had problems using factory toyota spring pressure clamps when installing new silicone hoses? Just curious before i begin, the small hose kit i bought did not come with clamps. Im thinking of using fuel line clamps throughout...

You will not be able to use all the factory clamps as the new silicone hoses are much thicker. its best to use some sort of hose clamp that does not eat cut into the silicone as well. a normal worm gear clamp can eat into it.

I've been using the ebay silicone hose kit for 3 years now with ring gear clamps, with no leaks or problems

Ok thanks.
Any issues with silicone leaking specific types of fluids or metal interactions??

no leaks that Ive found. I probably have a boost leak because I use worm clamps on the boost pipes but no fluid leaks.
