So, called local hose man and no luck in swageing that small.
Had some zip ties on for a bit and they worked for a while.The pump is perfect apart from that so a shame to bin it. Hose is 9mm od and 4id.
Any idea on how to fix.
Thanks in advance Simon

*based on potentially not fully understanding the problem.

If the pipe is slipping off - screw tight jubilee type clip - they come in lots of sizes, or can you wind thin stiff wire round it (use pliers to twist it tight) , if the nozzle is ridged then just behind the ridge to hold it in place. ( wrap wire round in a sort of u shape, get hold with pliers at top of u and then spin pliers to create twists in the u.

You can get hose clamps for small pipe eg https://hcl-clamping.co.uk/products/screw-hose-clamp-mini-petrol-pipe-7-9mm-zinc-plated

clamp

or crimp on ones if you want something a little more compact: https://hcl-clamping.co.uk/products/single-ear-hose-clamp-zero-leak-7-8-9-5mm-304ss

crimp

You can crimp them on with pincers (or side cutters as a bodge)

Quite like the look of that single ear crimp. Tried twisting wire but could not get it tight enough , maybe need different wire. Getting even pressure all round is what I'm after so will look into crimps a little more .
Cheers Simon
