How likely is it for a petrol pump to push a full hose off the pump which is held on with jubilee clips?

I modified the fuel pump on my car because the fitted-for-life filter was full of junk and causing the car to struggle for power and i couldnt afford a new pump with the filter attached. I removed the old filter pipes and inatalled submersible fuel pipes with jubilee clips holding the pipes in place.

so far the car is running a lot better and i will be going on a road trip for 200 odd miles, the fuel line has fallen off before but it turned out i hadnt tightened it enough. I have now tightened it as much as possible, is the fuel line unlikely to come back off? Ive covered about 300 miles so far and its been fine.

Thanks

    you need to use worm-screw clamps on those fuel lines and with the fuel that is in use TODAY the trash and filters [[ inside them]] need to be tossed and new filters should be installed every 2 or 3 years or more often in areas that are dusty or poor roads ...
