hose clamps and philosophy (semi-long)

Hey all,
My cold start valve line has been one of those problems that I have fixed 50 times and a week later it shows its ugly head once more. The original plastic line split far enough down that redoing a banjo wasnt going to work. I have since been using a 3/16 fuel line with hose clamps. The problem is finding hose clamps that are small/strong enough. Does anyone know whether those ear style clamps will hold fuel pressure? I guess I could find a hose off a junker but that is likely to be just as brittle.
On a completely off topic note, I just finished reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenace. I have heard from many people that this book was a must read in terms of it's significance to the automotive arena. I must say I was somewhat dissapointed after reading it. In terms of an intellectual philosophy book, I believe it was quite good. In terms of its application to mechanics, I was left wanting a little more in depth discussion. The author exhuasts the greek philosophy stuff, but only gives you 2 or 3 chapters dedicated solely to mechanics. Anyway, I figured some of you on here have probably read it. Thats just my 2 cents on the book. Take care
