Buy the correct size fuel hose or use a cable tie.

dunno about applications with fuel hose but elsewhere I use clear plastic tubing same (or slightly smaller) internal diameter as the outer diameter od the tube it's going on to and usually you need to heat the plastic tube to soften it so it goes over the other tube then when it's cooled it's pretty tight, I'd still use a hose clip / jubilee clip though with petrol

Heat shrink is for electrical connections or holding wires together, Petrol would probably eat through it in short order.

Get properly sized fuel tube and the appropriate clips, a jubilee type hose clip will work as a last resort but is not ideal.

Ebay will do it or any automotive supplier, I know for a 125 its usually just called 6mm ID fuel line, so measure the Inner Diameter of your hose and ebay it or take to a shop

Are you by any chance trying to bodge your injection hose to avoid paying £90 odd for the replacement part?

If so, I have seen it attempted many times and not once have I seen it suceed. Usually ends up in a recovery charge and an empty tank...wouldn't advise it.

Why does it have to be flexible hoses for a fuel pump?
Might take a bit of effort to do, but why not just use steel piping and compression fittings?

Why do you have two fuel pumps in parallel? This cant be the standard fitting? Shocked
