Fuel Filter Hose Spewing Fuel!

Anyone have any ideas on fitments or something that'll help. I think maybe the locking ring might be overused which might be causing it.

Edit: From the looks of the picture I can see the bottom washer but not the top one.

1. the hose inner dia. is a little too large.
2. get a better clamp (oem style)

Also be sure it is rated for fuel and not a regular rubber vacuum hose (looks like it is the proper type in the pic)
