Default Hose routing practice

Hi,

I'm running the last of my fuel lines FWF and have a couple of places where hoses cross. I was wondering if it was a generally accepted practice to tie two hoses together with Adel clamps at locations like this, or if I had to route the last hose all over creation and back to avoid all other hoses. I've looked at AC...13b, to no avail.

TIA,
Guy

If you just want to tie two hoses together to stop any relative motion, then it's a good application for Koroseal...

It's sort of like a rubbery boot lace...

If you need real support, then an Adel clamp....
