Swampy442 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Im making a fuel system for my car and purely for aesthetic reasons I wanted black hose with purple fittings. After hearing you get fuel smells from normal braided rubber hose (something personally Ive never experienced) Im erring towards teflon hose, which means stainless hose and normal colour fittings. So if I was to go with normal rubber hose, would something like this be any better at reducing the fuel smells? http://www.speedflowshop.co.uk/aeroquip-startlite-2444-p.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Neoprene lined hose may not be fuel compatible at all, ring Faye at Speedflow and ask her advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You can buy Teflon line with a black coating over the braid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Cheers for the reply gents Chris, theres something similar on eBay from Aeroquip thats states fuel, oil and water http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150712707168?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 http://www.xrp.com download the Pro Plus brochure. Black, PTFE lined, designed to be compatible with all IC engine fuels. Before you get too excited, check prices, XRP is fantastic quality, but it is pretty costly, in my limited experience of it. JLS (James Lister) in the Midlands is a stockist of their products.

Plenty of people do, but to me I like a full mechanical compression type fitting on fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
