    i'd use two clamps for a safey margin - are you pushing the hose over a bead on the hard line?

    Not something I'd endorse... why not use proper fittings?

    is this for the high pressure side or the low pressure side?

    For under $10 you can get a reducer made up at most speed shops. I wouldn't risk it on the high pressure side.
