Do I need a submersible fuel hose?
If your in-tank applications and fuel systems cause your hoses to be in constant contact with gasoline or other fuel fluids, you need the Gates Submersible Fuel Hose. Most fuel lines are only designed to handle fuel on the interior of the hose, which can be damaged if the exterior is exposed to fuel.
Does AutoZone replace fuel line hoses?
Shop for a replacement Fuel Line Hose at AutoZone. 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.
Why choose Napa belts/hose submersible fuel hose?
is designed for maximum chemical resistance. If ordinary fuel hose is used inside a fuel tank, the exterior hose jacket will degrade and fail prematurely due to contact with the fuel. NAPA Belts/Hose Submersible Fuel Hose is specially designed to have the same chemical-resistant properties in both the inside and outside surfaces of the hose.
How do I choose the right rubber hose for my vehicle?
Shop for your specific vehicle to find parts that fit. Rubber hoses are popular in automotive engineering due to their flexibility and relatively small size. You can shift them around to accommodate new components, and pushing them briefly out of the way when performing vehicle repairs is easy as well.
Is Fuel Injection hose submersible?
Gates Submersible Fuel Line Hose is capable of handling gasoline, alcohol-extended gasoline, ethanols, biodiesel or diesel fuel in fully-immersed, mobile and stationary applications. It contains a special compound, Fluoroelastomer, which resists gas permeation and aging.
Is nylon fuel line submersible?
In a submersible application the exterior of the fuel hose is in constant contact with fuel. There are two distinct players, rubber style including stainless steel brained and nylon. The rubber style submersible hose is constructed to meet the requirements of SAE 30 R10.
What tubing can be used for gasoline?
Fuel line is a petroleum-resistant nitrile tube with a covering that resists weathering, ozone and heat and can be used for ethanol-laced fuels and diesel fuel.
What is the best material for fuel hose?
PTFEThe best solution is a material called PTFE. That stands for polytetrafluoroethylene—a plastic material that is best known as Teflon in one specific variation. This material is impervious to the degenerative effects of fuel that also creates a vapor barrier so fuel vapors cannot leak past.
Can PTFE hose be submerged in fuel?
The inner PTFE tubing is suitable for use with any fuel and resists temperatures up to 500° Fahrenheit. Ultra-Flex Stainless steel braided hose can be use in applications where the hose is submersed in fuel.
Will PVC hold up to gasoline?
Due to the nature of PVC and other plastics as well, they are not well suited to use for fuel gas or kerosene. PVC and other plastics deform easily in high temperature environments, and may leak or rupture.
Is clear vinyl tubing OK for gasoline?
No - unless specially made for this purpose do not use plain ordinary vinyl tubing for gasoline and other hydrocarbons.
Will PEX hold up to gasoline?
I went and reviewed several Chemical Resistance Charts for PEX tubing. It appears that the hydrocarbons in gasoline and the alcohol additives have no long term affect.
Is polyurethane tubing good for gasoline?
It has exceptional resistance to most gasoline, oils, kerosene, and other petroleum-based chemicals, making PU tubing and hose an ideal choice for fuel lines (although additives in today's gasoline and petroleum products warrant field testing).
Is braided fuel line better?
Braided Lines Braided hose provides better heat dissipation and better flow, which is important when choosing performance car parts. Additionally, braided lines are able to withstand more pressure than rubber lines.
What can I use for a fuel line?
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.
Are tygon fuel lines submersible?
Tygon LP-1100 tubing is ozone and UV light resistant. It's flexible tubing, easy to install and offers excellent fitting retention. Designed for fuel transfer tubing solutions only, Tygon® LP-1100 is not recommended for fuel submersible applications.
What is a Gates fuel line?
Most fuel lines are only designed to handle fuel on the interior of the hose, which can be damaged if the exterior is exposed to fuel. Gates Submersible Fuel Line Hose is capable of handling multiple types of gasoline and fuels, including gasoline, alcohol-extended gasoline, ethanols, biodiesel or diesel fuel in fully-immersed, ...
Do submersible fuel hoses come in bulk?
Submersive fuel hoses are regularly shipped in bulk, and with a minimum order, we'll precut to the custom length required by your application.
