What vehicles is this fuel hose compatible with?

It is compatible with MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2-t Bus (B901, B902) 216 CDI models manufactured between April 2000 and May 2006.

What are the inner and outer diameters of the hose?

The hose has an inner diameter of 19 mm and 26 mm, and a total length of 1000 mm.

Can I use this hose for applications other than the specified MERCEDES-BENZ models?

While the hose is made to automotive standards, its specific dimensions and design are intended for the listed MERCEDES-BENZ vehicles and OEM replacements. Using it for other applications may not be suitable or safe.

Is this a high-pressure or low-pressure fuel hose?

This hose is designed for the high-pressure side of the fuel system, connecting the pump to the regulating valve.

How should I clean this fuel hose?

Fuel hoses should generally not require cleaning. If contaminated, it typically indicates a problem elsewhere in the fuel system. If external cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring no water enters the hose.

The white-transparent color allows for visual inspection of the fuel flowing through the hose, helping to identify air bubbles or contaminants.

Troubleshooting

Fuel leak at connection points.

Ensure hose clamps or fittings are securely tightened. Check for debris on the connection surfaces. Verify the hose is correctly seated on the pump and regulating valve spigots.

Reduced engine performance or stalling.

Check for kinks or blockages in the fuel hose. Ensure the hose is not collapsing under suction. Verify that the hose is correctly installed and compatible with the vehicle's fuel pressure requirements.

Hose appears degraded or cracked.

The hose should be replaced immediately. This indicates material fatigue and a potential safety hazard. Refer to the setup and compatibility section for correct part selection and installation.
