Fuel hoses ...

Post by Lightweight_911 »

An interesting - if a bit long-winded - video on problems arising with replacement fuel hoses :

From reading people's comments after watching the video, this was something I hadn't heard before:

Gates barricade fuel hose is one that does seems to get the 'thumbs up' - I remember Angus stating recently that he's been using it for ~ 15 yrs & not seen any problems ...

Interesting.
I change the hoses on the Lola every 3 years or when they feel a bit 'rigid.

Heard yesterday that E15 will be heading to the pumps this year.
I think this will replace E10 but E5 continues.

So is this stuff any better, does not say for fuel but seems to meet all the other requirements?

I've recently replaced the fuel hoses to/from the rear-mounted pump on my car.

I too used Cohline 2240 R9-rated hose with the FKM lining ...
