Best place for quality fuel hose/filter

Post by chappyr1 »

Hi all, first job on our new van (DJ engine) is to renew the fuel lines and filter. They may have been done fairly recently but for peace of mind I'm going to do them anyway. I'm going to order off t'internet so can't have a look or feel of the lines to make sure they are good quality before I buy.

Could anyone recommend a good source of quality lines please (JK, Heritage etc)?

Thanks in advance!

BW as above.
And if you have some local Motor Factors you love, then in my experience the Gates 3225 hoses are good quality. But then some investigation is needed for the correct sizes and lenghts you need.

Be really careful about buying generic fuel hose on line, even if it has an SAE 30R9 or SAE 30R14 specification, as that only ensures that it's rated for 5% (E5) ethanol content and we now have fuel in this country with 10% (E10) ethanol content, and in other countries it can be 15% or more. The good manufacturers make their fuel hose so that it exceeds the requirements of R9 or R14 - for example the stuff that Brickwerks sell, or a product like Gates Barricade, both of which are rated for 100% (E100) ethanol content.

What, no link? Do you honestly think we don't know what a fuel filter is for?

Without the spam there is no reason to act.
