I don't think that "clamps" are the answer...

If you didn't do so this time, next time purchase at least a yard, maybe two of the return line and yes, make certain it is "spec"... and as you make a new connection with a new piece of return line hose, it has to be "TIGHT" and if not, reverse the new piece and try the other end. The need to be tight.

Also make sure that these short pieces of return hose are long enough to NOT be pushed around by any of the throttle linkages.

You should keep a couple of spare feet of this hose in your trunk.

NO, you should NOT have to use clamps!

IF this problem persists, investigate the possibility that the is a stoppage somewhere in one of the return lines.
