John,

The subject line does say it all . . . if it's read.

The fuel hose is 7 X 3 mm, so its OD is 13 mm.  I've used the smooth-band,
machine screw type hose clamps for this application in two different sizes: 11.0
- 13.3 mm (7/16" - 17/32") and 12.0 - 14.3 mm (15/32" - 9/16").  I found both
sizes to work, only the larger will slide over the bulge in the hose caused
by the barb on the fitting without undoing the screw of the clamp.
