It is not only on water pipes that you can find jubilee clips being used to secure a hose. They are frequently used on the flexible sections of fuel pipes that allow the engine to be flexibly mounted, and if the jubilee clip fails there you could well get fuel leaking into the bilges or at least the engine might stop.
How tight should jubilee clips be?
Jubilee clips should be tightened as much as is possible with a screwdriver but not so tight that they cut into the hose. If there are no signs of corrosion, leaking or hose deterioration, it is best to leave hose connections intact at the winter overhaul.
