What does a fuel line hose do?
Fuel hoses transport fuel from the fuel tank to your engine and various parts of your vehicle to ensure it runs. Your fuel line hose can wear out and be damaged over time, which can impact your fuel efficiency when on the road.
Does replacing a fuel hose increase fuel efficiency?
Replacing cracked or leaking hoses can increase fuel efficiency and keep you and your vehicle safe. Fuel hoses are often specific for the pressure of fuel they will be transporting.

What size fuel return line should I use?
The Fuel Return Line should be at least the same size, or one size larger than the supply. Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks. The return line should direct fuel close to the bottom of the tank and away from the pickup.
What is the best material for fuel lines?
The best fuel line material depends on your needs. However, the best material for fuel lines is polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE. PTFE fuel line is made of plastic material specifically known as Teflon. This fuel line material is impervious is resistant to the degenerative fuel effects which could form vapor barriers.
What kind of hose can be used with gasoline?
PTFE is compatible with all fuels and oils. With operating pressure of 1200+psi and burst pressure of 4000+psi for performance applications this is a very good choice. Teflon or PTFE is 200 series hose.
Is a shorter fuel line better?
In the case of fuel lines, two influences increase friction and therefore fuel pressure drop. The first is the length of the fuel line – the longer it is the more friction will be incurred. The second is flow rate – as the rate is increased so is friction.
Does size of fuel line matter?
Does size really matter when it comes to fuel lines? According to the fuel delivery system experts at Fuelab, it does. It's because fuel line size and length have a direct effect on the amount of fuel pressure drop your fuel system will experience.
What size is metal fuel line?
For most recent cars, supply is 5/16" and return and vent are both 1/4".
Can fuel lines be to big?
If the diameter is too big: the lines will take longer to pressurize. If your pump can't maintain the pressure, it can drop during times of high demand, leading to engine damage.
What happens if fuel pressure is too high?
If fuel pressure is too high, your vehicle's engine could be over fueled, leading to many of the symptoms listed below. Some of these symptoms include your engine running rough, poor fuel economy and black smoke from the exhaust.
How much horsepower will a 3/8 fuel line support?
A 3/8”id fuel line can easily support 600 HP given sufficient “pump head”! Given a big enough pump a 3/8” steel line could support 1000 HP. The simple way to know is to install an electronic fuel pressure gauge. If the pressure falls as the engine RPM's go up you need more pump head.
