Title: Ethanol submersible compatible Fuel Hose Post by: Rob Hilding on September 02, 2011, 01:02:35 PM Several members of the 851/888 board have been searching for a fuel hose that
is submersible in E blended fuels. The problem has been that it is sold in 12" lengths for high prices. I have found a source that will supply in bulk lengths for <$1/ft. I'll have to buy 100 feet - and so far only have 20 feet "spoken for" Is anyone interested in this hose - I have a Gates rubber part number, and it would probably be easier for people to get it direct from a Gates distributor. Just putting this out there since finding the hose was an issue - not trying to "sell" anything Title: Re: Ethanol submersible compatible Fuel Hose Post by: ducpainter on September 02, 2011, 01:17:10 PM I'll take the number Rob.
My buddy ducvet uses a fair amount of it. Title: Re: Ethanol submersible compatible Fuel Hose Post by: Rob Hilding on September 02, 2011, 03:01:58 PM 4219G

http://130.94.132.36/professionalplastics/VitonTubeSize-specifications.pdf (http://130.94.132.36/professionalplastics/VitonTubeSize-specifications.pdf) they sell 1/4" in 25' lengths Title: Re: Ethanol submersible compatible Fuel Hose Post by: Rob Hilding on September 06, 2011, 12:07:44 PM It appears the information from my Gates distributor was INCORRECT (very incorrect)
Please disregard - sorry for the false hopes Title: Re: Ethanol submersible compatible Fuel Hose Post by: Christian on September 06, 2011, 03:44:01 PM Rob, can you elaborate? Was the incorrect information that Gates was the only one who had it? Or is the Gates line nor suitable for ethanol submersion?
Title: Re: Ethanol submersible compatible Fuel Hose Post by: Rob Hilding on September 06, 2011, 04:26:19 PM Sure - my Gates distributor sent me a piece of Gate literature that said the part # (4219) he quoted exceeded the SAE30R10 spec.
Then, when I checked with a guy from the 851/888 group - he sent me a contradictory spec sheet. I finally got in touch with Gates, and they said the literature I was looking at was European, and only their #27093 (1 foot segment) and #27080 (10 ft. segment) is submersible hose that will work with alcohol added fuel...... So I wasted a lot of my time - and hopefully not to much of yours I did get a price on #27080 at almost $18.00/ft :o I haven't tried searching for this part # online........ |
