I initially re-used the clamp on the fuel line but it started leaking after
100 miles. I replaced it with a worm drive clamp and no problem. They're
cheaper and easier to remove and re-use anyway.

I elected not to, since it appeared to me that the clamp itself was
unable to exert enough pressure on the hose to make a leak-proof
connection. I suppose I could have tried crimping the clamp some more,
but I'd rather just use a worm drive clamp that I know can exert enough
force to make a good connection. Plus, with a metal QD I don't have to
worry about applying too much force and cracking a plastic QD.
