What type of hose is oil resistant?

Petroleum transfer hoses are generally made of a synthetic rubber, and have a medium to high oil resistance.

Can I use fuel line hose for transmission fluid?

Yes, you can install cheap fuel hose, and it WILL work but the question is, ‘for how long?’ Transmission cooler hose is noticeably thicker and stiffer, and you can safely assume that the type of rubber used will work long-term with atf.

What is a fuel hose used for?

A fuel hose is a reinforced rubber hose in a vehicle that carries the fuel from a fuel tank to a different part of the vehicle, usually the fuel pump. Fuel hoses come in many different sizes and are used in a variety of different vehicles, from lawn mowers to farm tractors to cars and trucks.

Does a fuel hose have to be a special hose?

With in-tank (submersible) applications, fuel also comes in constant contact with the outside hose cover, making it vital to use a hose that’s engineered to be submersible. For in-tank applications, fuel line must meet or exceed the SAE 30R10 rating, which is the standard for submersible fuel line hose applications.

Is rubber fuel hose oil resistant?

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.

How many types of hoses are there?

Hoses are divided into two categories, based on their use: suction hose, and delivery hose. After use, a fire hose is usually hung to dry, because standing water that remains in a hose for a long time can deteriorate the material and render it unreliable or unusable.

Can you use rubber hose for transmission lines?

You can use rubber hose, but make sure it’s transmission cooler line rated. The pressure is quite low (12-15 psi). Double clamp it or use FI type clamps instead of the worm-drive style.

Are transmission lines high pressure?

there is at idle between 20-50 psi but during use pressures in transmission lines can reach 100 psi or more. if you are going to use rubber lines be sure to use barbed fittings so the hose does not blow off. hot transmission fluid blowing out and getting on a really hot exhaust manifold will cause instant fires.

What can I use for transmission cooler lines?

Rubber transmission lines are readily available and are the cheapest option for transmission cooler lines. More often than not, your vehicle will have some rubber lines from the factory, but not nearly as much as it would metal.

Can I use rubber hose to repair fuel lines?

Yes, you can, but there are some hazards/risks involved with using rubber fuel line. Sealing is a problem when you don’t use hose fittings. Just slipping the hose on steel tube is asking for leaks, many times they are not visible. I recommend using double clamps and Hylomar sealant when not using hose fittings.

Can you use fuel hose power steering?

If so i’d say no becuase they’ll need to be connected properly and be able to withstand descent pressure. If you’ve removed your PS then you shoould be fine with fuel hose and hose clamps.

Can silicone hose be used 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 type of 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.

What is the best material for fuel lines?

The best solution is a material called PTFE. That stands for polytetrafluoroethylene—a plastic material that is best known as Teflon in one specific variation. This material is impervious to the degenerative effects of fuel that also creates a vapor barrier so fuel vapors cannot leak past.
