Why do you hate them? They're extra work and expense, but they are a better system than hose clamps. You don't have to run the spendy stainless over-braided hose with them. Look up "Push-Lok" or "Barb-tite" hose and hose ends. The hose is spendy, but even with this carp they call 'fuel' these days it'll very likely be the last hose that you ever have to put on the car. Unless you insist on putting hose clamps on them, then you've skrewed the pooch and will be replacing the hose. W/o clamps that system is good to over 200 psi!
