David - Make sure everything is clean and dry. Put some Red Loctite Gasket
maker on the pipe end and smear a bit inside the hose. Slide it on and
tighten the clamp. You will have to re-tighten these clamps every few days
till they are secure and stay that way. Then check them every month after
that. Ifg you don't the "oily" nature of 50/50 antifreeze will make them
slip off again.
