Product Information
Full details
This semi-rigid nylon tubing is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who need a reliable solution for fuel and oil transfer systems. Built to rigorous DIN 73378 and BS 5409 standards, it provides excellent durability and resistance to automotive fluids like petrol, diesel, and oil. While it offers superior strength for demanding environments, users should note that the semi-rigid construction requires careful routing to avoid sharp kinks that could restrict flow.

FAQs
Is this tubing suitable for biodiesel?
Yes, the nylon material is chemically resistant to standard automotive diesel and biodiesel blends.
Can I use this for brake lines?
No. This tubing is designed for fuel and oil transfer and does not meet the safety requirements for high-pressure hydraulic braking systems.
What is the inner diameter of this 8mm OD tubing?
The inner diameter is 6mm.
Do I need special tools to cut this?
A dedicated plastic tubing cutter is recommended to ensure a clean, burr-free square cut, which is essential for a leak-proof seal.
Can I paint this tubing?
It is not recommended to paint the tubing, as some solvents in paints may react with the nylon surface.
Troubleshooting
Tubing kinked during installation
If the kink is severe, cut out the damaged section and use a suitable nylon-to-nylon straight connector to rejoin the lines.
Leaking at connection point
Verify that the end of the tubing was cut perfectly square and that the correct compression fitting for 8mm nylon is being utilized.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade material compliant with DIN and BS safety standards
- Excellent resistance to common automotive fuels and oils
- Generous 30-metre length suitable for heavy-duty workshop use
- Semi-rigid design offers a balance between flexibility and structural integrity
Cons
- Requires careful handling to prevent permanent kinking during tight-radius bends
- Not intended for extreme high-pressure hydraulic applications
- Limited to specific diameter requirements (8mm/6mm)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this tubing, ensure you use compatible compression fittings designed for 8mm nylon tubing. Do not use standard hose clips meant for soft rubber, as they may damage or crush the nylon surface.
Care Instructions:
- Bending: Use a heat gun on a low setting only if necessary, though it is best to use pre-formed fittings for tight 90-degree turns to prevent collapsing the inner diameter.
- Storage: Keep the coil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause UV degradation over extended periods.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tubing for signs of abrasion, particularly where it passes through metal chassis panels. Use rubber grommets where the line passes through the frame to prevent rubbing.
