Is there a special connector used to clamp the a short section of rubber hose from the stock poly gas line to the metal tank nipple?

I did it like this:

That is a Wash-Down Push-to-Connect fitting from mcmaster.com that the nylon tubing simply pushes into (stainless fingers keep it in and an o-ring seals it), which is screwed into an NPT bulkhead fitting (also from mcmaster) with an NPT to -6AN/JIC adapter screwed into the other end of the bulkhead fitting. I didn't use an AN bulkhead fitting for some reason that I can no longer recall.

Then on the AN side I use a -6AN/JIC Push-Lock/Barb-tite type hose end with emission barrier EFI hose. Like this:

The Push-Lock fittings DO NOT want a hose clamp, using one on them cuts the hose liner and makes the connection fail. I HATE hose clamps on fuel hose, and I want complete serviceability. With exception of having to cut the fuel hose off of the Push-Lock hose ends any item in the assembly is easily removed and replaced.
