I'm in the process of installing fuel hoses and was wondering if anyone has used small metal coil springs inside hoses to keep them from kinking when making a sharp bend. Would there be any ill effects by doing this? TIA.

 

I suggest getting some hose that has bends already in it.

 

Where exactly do you find pre-bent fuel hose to fit a universal application?

 

Gates makes a uni coil for soft hoses. You can bend any soft hose 90*.

 

Yeah, I bought one, but not sure if it will work. Just trying to find out about addtional options if needed.

 

I made a fuel line to replace the one from the pri to the sec fuel rail i I pushed in a curved section of steel break line with oil .

 

That's the hose I'm trying to prevent from kinking. So it would be ok to use a spring the same I.D. to keep the hose from kinking?

 

Try the spring in the hose and hold it at the curve you need and blow through it.Is there a restriction?

 

Appears to be the same flow with or without the spring.
