I heard the practice of clothes pins on the fuel line was from the days before vehicles had fuel pumps and relied on gravity feed. This makes sense as none of the fuel system was pressurized and the clothes pins may have helped somewhat in dissipating heat and mitigating vapor locking. Don't know, but it sounds right.
