M60 Intake reseal update: fuel line rubber hose clamps

[Alpinewhite]

I took the intake manifold out.

I was able to remove the fuel line hose from the passenger side. I had to cut the one in the driver side. When I am replacing them can I use regular hose clamps available in Autozone type stores? Or do I have to get the BMW clamps?

Thanks

BMW clamps

BMW hose clamps are nothing special. Get the regular clamp. The only thing I found annoying is the hose clamps I got from Autozone have US standard head so I go back to use my standard sockets.

There was some discussion in the archives about the way the BMW clamps work vs the Autozone clamps. I figured to take the OEM route considering the pressure on the fuel line.
