I agree with you Gord - double hose clamps are not always possible or necessary.

Better to use one top quality (AWAB) non-perforated clamp than two cheap ones - except at the fuel and exhaust.

One problem is how tight to make them. The manufacturers say about 37 inch/pounds. That is what the average person can produce using a nut driver. Some hose though can't take that much (white sanitation hose for one) so two clamps of lesser torque might be better.
