If it is the fuel filler hose you are on about which from your description it sounds like I doubt you will get a fuel pipe clip that big. I bought my jubilee's locally and got them just bigger than the hose diameter (50mm) so I didn't have to tighten them much as they do tend to distort and not stay round, perhaps this is your problem. The filler hose should be a tight fit onto the tank inlet and the filler cap aswell.

Mine was tight and still leaked. Make sure if possible you get it between the spirals. Then go a bit tighter till leak stops.
