high temp fuel line hose?
i replaced one of my fuel lines the other day that had a slow drip on it and found that at 40k miles, the ends were cracked and the hose was overly spongey in some places.
has anyone found a high temp fuel hose? so far this is the best i've found - http://www.hbdthermoid1.com/thermoid...=280,281,12128 the temp range on it is -29F to +275F. silicone goes up to +350 (yes, i know you don't wanna use silicone hose for fuel/oil). thanks, j.ho |
Teflon -- -100F to +450F
http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...87&prmenbr=361 Socketless -- -40F to +300F http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...86&prmenbr=361 Braided Stainless -- -55F to +300F http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...01&prmenbr=361 quite a few options out there, check out the 'fuel' section on Jegs or Summit and you'll see a wide variety of options and prices. |
thanks!
it looks like the socketless would do the trick, but that's pretty scary to not use a clamp on a fuel line! |
Yes it is...I've read that over and over and still can't figure it out. I'm sure it's good because they rate it at 250psi, but it's still freaky. I think the key is making sure the ends are cut and installed correctly. Maybe someone else has used this and can comment.

I have some of that blue silicone hose which I'm using for my turbo coolaent inlet and I will tell you.
IT WILL STAY ON! I had a bitch of a time slipping it onto some barbed fittings. That thing won't come off. I did use a hose clamp where it connects to the turbo but that's because it isn't barbed. |
