Petrol Hoses - Keep checking em' Gang!

Post by 300CE »

Replaced these ones from the fuel pump again about 15 months ago. J30 R9 Hose - all cracking again so have replaced them for a 3rd time. Ones from the pump seem to be more prone to cracking than the others, so just a word of warning to keep on checking em' and always carry spares:

What else does the branding on the hose say? Is there actually a makers name or brand? Personally if a piece of hose doesn't carry a trade name I'd view any specification on it with suspicion. A few years ago I worked for an industrial hose company that imported a lot of hose from Indonesia. It turned out most of what we were supplied was air-hose branded as marine hose hose, oil hose etc.

Because of the minefield that is fuel lines, I find it simpler to put my faith in Brickwerks.

Here's a couple of pics of the hose chaps & chapettes - could possibly be fake hose so be aware of buying this type of hose from eBay:
