EFI In Tank Pump Baloney

This is what was sent to me, so I cut that sob open.

I thought a barb fitting and a clamp don't mix?

Wouldn't a fitting meant for a clamp be better?

I aint no expert on the intank stuff , but my fast 2.0 / external pump set up came w/ pushlok fittings and almost that exact same clamp. I have had no trouble out of it for quite a few yrs. now. I have had occasion to change things w/ three diff. intakes, and have found nothing that is deteriorating .
I`m wondering if u got the wrong hose sent in ur kit to start with !! I have checked those brass barbed fittings and found them to be the same size as the pushlok barbs too------
I have used a heck of a bunch of those brass fittings over the yrs. , nothing wrong w/ them , just cheaper . Even used a few in plumbing over a 50ish yr career .
