leaking connection at gas tank

Anybody have a good recommendation for stopping small leakage where the primary gas tank and the rubber hose connect? It currently has a little cinch clamp on the hose but I'm still getting some leakage. Now it's not a large leak, but it's noticeable after I let my bronco sit over night and the area around the connection on the tank is all wet with gas. Should I double clamp it? Is there something else that can stop/prevent this?

New hose and clamp should fix you right up. If the hose is old and brittle behind the clamp, the metal of the clamp will cut into it and make a small leak.

Good luck getting that new hose on without dropping the tank. Pretty tight in there. Might as well replace the vent line as well
