 well the FI uses a much higher PSI then you manual pump .
 you can get away with hose clamps on a lower  TBI   like a chevy 4.3   it only runs around 30 PSI .
BUT  the pump on both the 8V and 16  run 90+ lbs  as such its best to have   flaired line ends and pressure fittings to keep the leaks down .

I agree the pressure is definitely high and pressure fittings would probably be the "best" solution....


However I have been running clamp with fuel injected rated hose for over a year now, and have had no leaks. I did flair the fuel line a little to help hold the hose and clamp.
