What should the SAE be on a fuel line hose?
It should, however, not be used on coolant systems, oil systems or fuel-injection systems that produce pressures higher than 50 psi. SAE ratings displayed on the hose should be 30R6 or 30R7.
What kind of hose is used for fuel injection?
High-pressure fuel-injection hose can also be used in low-pressure applications, but the difference in pricing may convince you to save it for where it is needed. Nylon fuel line. Many late-model production cars are now using hard, black nylon tubing with special connectors to attach fuel-feed lines to the gas tank sending unit /fuel pump modules.
What causes a Bing CV carburetor to leak?
Other leaks are quite rare. Eventually all stock Bing CV carburetors (and some non-CV types too), will leak. The cause can be more than one thing, but commonly it is float old age; deterioration of the float from being immersed in fuel (modern fuels tend to be poor) for a quite long period of time.
Can a neoprene fuel hose be used for PCV?
Standard neoprene fuel hose can be used for fuel, PCV and EEC systems on all vehicles where working pressures are under 50 psi or vacuum ratings are under 24-in. Hg for 7/16-inch and smaller inside-diameter sizes (10-in. Hg for ½-inch diameter hose).
It should, however, not be used on coolant systems, oil systems or fuel-injection systems that produce pressures higher than 50 psi. SAE ratings displayed on the hose should be 30R6 or 30R7.
What kind of fuel line fitting do I Need?
Neoprene with an outer steel braiding is also offered for custom applications; however, it is difficult to clamp with a standard worm gear clamp. Special AN-type fittings are often necessary with steel-braided fuel line. When a bent filler neck hose is necessary, wire-inserted fuel hose is also offered.
Can a fuel line be used for coolant?
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. It should, however, not be used on coolant systems, oil systems or fuel-injection systems that produce pressures higher than 50 psi.
High-pressure fuel-injection hose can also be used in low-pressure applications, but the difference in pricing may convince you to save it for where it is needed. Nylon fuel line. Many late-model production cars are now using hard, black nylon tubing with special connectors to attach fuel-feed lines to the gas tank sending unit /fuel pump modules.
What’s the best way to splic fuel lines?
Also played around with the idea of a steel line connected by about 3-4 inches of fuel hose at each end into existing lines with clamps. It’s too involved replacing the entire lines as the subframe and some steering components need to come off. I’m looking for a solution to last 2-3 years.
Can a rubber hose be used over a hard fuel line?
Normally inside diameter, but if you are putting rubber hose over the hard line, then the inside diameter of the hose needs to go over the outside of the hard fuel line, but you want a tight fit, not a loose fit.
Are there any fuel line magnets on the market?
There are dozens of fuel-line magnets on the market. We tested two. They all make similar claims: substantial improvements in fuel economy, reduced emissions and increased horsepower.
What kind of fuel line should I use?
Likely a good recommendation, but if your not taking the car to the race track, you could just use rubber fuel line. There are a few things to note. You need to use EFI rated fuel line, and preferably the TPFE lined type like the Gates Barricade fuel line, but this fuel line is fairly expensive.
