Product Information

Full details

This Nitrile Rubber Fuel Tube is designed for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics seeking a durable, flexible solution for fuel and oil transfer in engine breather systems. It provides exceptional reliability for transporting gasoline, diesel, and lubricating oils under demanding conditions, though it is specifically engineered for automotive fuel system environments and should not be used for high-pressure fuel injection applications.

FAQs

Can I use this for high-pressure fuel injection systems?

No, this hose is designed for standard fuel systems and does not meet the requirements for high-pressure fuel injection.

Is this hose compatible with E10 petrol?

Yes, the nitrile rubber composition is suitable for use with E5 and E10 petrol blends.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The hose is rated for temperatures up to 100°C.

Can this be used for coolant lines?

This hose is specifically designed for fuel and oil. While it may handle water in some cases, it is not recommended as a substitute for automotive coolant hoses which require different material properties.

How do I cut this hose to the correct length?

Use a sharp utility knife or specialized rubber hose cutter to ensure a clean, perpendicular edge for a secure seal.

Troubleshooting

Fuel seepage at the connection point

Ensure the hose clamp is tight and properly positioned; if seepage persists, the clamp may be damaged or the hose may have been cut during installation.

Hose appearing brittle after long-term use

Exposure to high heat over time causes rubber to age; replace the hose immediately to prevent potential leaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to fuel and oil degradation
  • High temperature and pressure ratings for automotive use
  • Flexible design allows for easy routing in engine bays
  • Compatible with a wide variety of fuels including E10
  • Complies with SAE J30 R6 safety standards

Cons

  • Not suitable for fuel injection systems
  • Requires proper clamping to prevent leaks
  • Rubber may degrade if exposed to prolonged UV light

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When installing the fuel tube, ensure that all connections are secured with appropriate worm-gear or fuel-injection style clamps. Do not overtighten clamps, as this can cut the outer synthetic layer. Before routing, measure the path of your fuel system to avoid sharp bends that could cause the tube to kink or collapse. For maintenance, regularly inspect the hose for signs of cracking, hardening, or seepage, especially near the connection points. If you are replacing an existing hose, confirm the inner diameter of your existing fittings matches the hose size, as loose fittings can lead to significant fuel leaks.
