Product Information

Full details

This Connect Overbraided Fuel Line Hose is designed for automotive and industrial applications requiring reliable fuel transfer. Its key benefit is robust resistance to oils and fuels, ensuring durability and safety. A potential limitation is its fixed 5-meter length, which may require additional hosing for longer runs. This 7.0mm inner diameter hose is manufactured to DIN 73379 Type B standards, featuring a black rubber construction with overbraiding for added protection and a wide operating temperature range.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of fuel can this hose be used with?

This hose is manufactured to be resistant to oil and fuel, suitable for standard gasoline and diesel. For specific or high-performance fuels, always verify compatibility with the manufacturer's guidelines.

Is this hose suitable for high-pressure fuel injection systems?

This hose is designed for standard fuel line applications and is not rated for high-pressure fuel injection systems. Please consult specific product ratings for high-pressure requirements.

How should I cut the hose to size?

Use a sharp, dedicated hose cutter or a very sharp blade for a clean, precise cut. A dull tool can crush the hose, affecting its ability to seal properly.

What is the purpose of the overbraiding?

The overbraiding provides an additional layer of protection against abrasion, wear, and minor impacts, helping to extend the service life of the hose in demanding environments.

Can this hose be used for applications other than fuel lines?

While primarily designed for fuel, its oil resistance and temperature range might make it suitable for other low-pressure fluid transfer applications. However, always confirm fluid compatibility before use.

What is the difference between this hose and other Connect fuel hoses?

The primary differences are typically in the inner diameter (ID) and sometimes the length or specific construction details. This model has a 7.0mm ID and is 5 meters long, complying with DIN 73379 Type B.

Troubleshooting

Hose is stiff and difficult to bend.

This is normal at low temperatures due to the rubber compound. Allow the hose to warm to ambient temperature before attempting to route or install it.

Fuel smell around the connection point.

Check that the hose clamps are tightened securely and that the hose is fully seated onto the fitting. Inspect the hose end for any cracks or damage.

Hose appears swollen or degraded.

This may indicate incompatibility with the fuel being used. Inspect the hose for specific material degradation and replace if necessary. Consult product specifications for confirmed fluid compatibility.

Overbraiding is fraying.

Ensure the hose is not rubbing against sharp or abrasive surfaces. Re-route the hose or protect it with additional abrasion-resistant sleeving if necessary. Continue to monitor for wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction resistant to fuel and oil degradation.
  • Meets recognized industry standards (DIN 73379 Type B).
  • Overbraiding offers enhanced protection against external damage.
  • Suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures.
  • Clear identification of inner diameter (7.0mm) for correct fitting selection.

Cons

  • Fixed 5-meter length may not suit all applications without extension.
  • Inner diameter (7.0mm) might be too large for some smaller fuel systems.
  • Requires appropriate fittings for secure connection.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications beyond standard fuel line use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power source is disconnected before working on fuel systems.
  2. Cut the hose cleanly to the required length using a sharp blade or hose cutter.
  3. Securely attach the hose to appropriate fuel-compatible fittings using hose clamps designed for fuel lines. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
  4. Route the hose away from sharp edges, excessive heat sources, and moving parts.

Compatibility:

  • Inner Diameter: This hose is designed for systems requiring a 7.0mm inner diameter. Verify compatibility with your existing fittings.
  • Fluid Compatibility: Suitable for gasoline, diesel, and standard engine oils. Always confirm compatibility with specific fuel types or additives if unsure.
  • Temperature: Suitable for ambient and operational temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the hose for signs of cracking, hardening, or abrasion, especially at connection points and where it routes near other components.
  • Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the rubber or overbraiding.
  • Replace the hose if any signs of damage or wear are observed to prevent fuel leaks and ensure safety.
