Hello Ron,
I sometimes forget to mention special tools and there are special tools for safely pinching fuel hoses without damaging them.
I use the Blue point/Snap-on version of pliers pictured below.
These or any pliers should NEVER be used on the later style of hard plastic fuel hose used on the K-jet/CIS fuel system. Pinching those will permanently crush them.
