I agree it shouldn't, but someone over here used Gates Barrier hoses =
that were fractionally smaller than the ports on his filter and carbs =
and forcing them on shredded the inner layer which blocked the filter =
and prevented the float valve from closing. Obvious from additional =
bits in the bottom of the float chamber (lid if HIF).
Hunt's Fifth Law:
"Many break-downs occur soon after a car has been worked on; 'new' parts =
can be faulty when you receive them; 'new' parts will sometimes fail =
soon after fitting; 'new' parts almost certainly won't last as long as =
the originals."

Float sunk, or debris lodged in the valve. This last has happened to =
me on more than one occasion, requiring a roadside repair. It should not =
happen with an inline filter and new rubber fuel lines.
