How can I add a "bump" to metal tubing so a hose can't slip off?

"One test is worth a thousand expert opinions."
I know there are professional tools to do this, but how can I accomplish something like this at home?

I will be using some 3/8" auto parts store metal fuel line type of tubing to connect to a remote oil
filter mount connected into the transmission oil cooler return line. Or will I only be able to use 2
hose clamps in opposite directions on the straight cut end of the tubing?
 
I have more then once used just a hose clamp over the tubing is it ideal No a properly flared full metal line is but some times you gotta improvise.

You have one if you have a double flaring tool kit. Just start the flare a small amount and then stop, or it will be too big to get the hose on.

if youve ever wondered why Ive suggested no one use the cheap glass fuel filters, its because they are prone to leak, with less than safe results.

for small tube a flare tool is best

theres two basic types of header to collector v-band clamps for exhausts
this type requires that you weld two flanges on the two pipes (collector and exhaust)
theres an internal V-grove the forces the two surfaces firmly together

the other type requires that the exhaust pipe is a slip fit inside the collector and you cut short expansion slits in the collector,
this type clamps the external pipe firmly around the internal slip inside the collector exhaust

You'll have to cut more off the side that goes inside but that's a brilliant idea!
