What is SAE J1942?
SAE J1942, developed through the cooperative efforts of the U.S. Coast Guard and SAE, became effective August 28, 1991, as the official document for nonmetallic flexible hose assemblies for commercial marine use.
What is B1 fuel?
B1–fuel feed hose; without fire resistant cover; is designed to have fuel in the hose at all times; intended for non-enclosed spaces. Diesel engines or above deck outboard gasoline applications.
What is SAE in fuel hose?
This SAE Standard covers fuel and oil hose, coupled and uncoupled, for use with gasoline, oil, diesel fuel, lubrication oil, or the vapor present in either the fuel system or in the crankcase of internal combustion engines in mobile, stationary, and marine applications.
Can you use silicone hose for fuel?
Can you use silicone hoses for fuel hoses? Well standard silicone hoses are porous and therefore not suitable for oil or fuel. There are flurosilicone liners, which are specially formulated to prevent oil from penetrating the wall but we would not recommend these for Fuel lines, or heavy use of Fuel Filling.
What’s the difference between A1 and B1 marine fuel line?
The “B” designator means the hose should be used only in open, above deck spaces, i.e., it has not passed a 2.5-minute fire test. For an on-deck, open fuel system, the hose from the fuel tank to the engine can be rated B1, but A1 is better and can be used as well.
What are diesel fuel lines made of?
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.
Does a fuel hose have to be a special hose?
SAE 30R6 hoses are designed for low-pressure applications like carburetors. These can also be used as an emissions hose. SAE 30R9 hoses are designed for high-pressure applications like fuel injection and oil. These are designed to stand up to the environment under the hood.
What fuel line can be submerged in fuel?
Gates Submersible Fuel Line Hose is capable of handling gasoline, alcohol-extended gasoline, ethanols, biodiesel or diesel fuel in fully-immersed, mobile and stationary applications. It contains a special compound, Fluoroelastomer, which resists gas permeation and aging.
Will silicone hold up to gasoline?
No, Ultra Blue® is a silicone-based product, that will offer a good seal, and has good resistance to oil and coolant, however, silicones are not recommended for use in a gasoline environment. The gasoline will attack the product.
