Internal fuel lines.

[Rugged Path]

Is there an alternative to buying expensive OEM hoses?

Just bought the Nushings stainless U-bend to swop out while inside as well as the filter.

There was an article in RiDe magazine several years ago, where the internal fuel hoses were replaced. It listed the technical specifications for clips/hoses.

Hopefully someone can recall which issue, I know I've put mine 'safe' somewhere.

Interested in this as well

Motorworks do both OEM and alternative internal hoses with a big difference in price.

Over here ( in the USA) just about any auto parts store will carry Gates 27093 fuel hose by the foot sold off of a roll.
it meets these specs for fuel submersible hose and pressure rated ( from Gates)

Temperature tolerance range of -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F).
Comprised of a FKM tube and cover with a synthetic fiber reinforcement.
Exceeds required SAE 30R10 standard.
Working pressure of up to 100 PSI.

it is expensive about $25 per foot from an auto parts store like that, but you really need less than a foot to replace whats in an oilhead fuel tank.

maybe with that part number in hand you can find something locally.

you can not use that hose to make the U shaped BEND however, ( it will kink) so you are stuck with the $50 OEM rubber bend, or one of the few aftermarket alternatives.

As an alternative to that above, I have just bought this hose by the meter. Compatible with the requirements for submerged ‘in-tank’ lines.

Only £7.20

Hey rugged path where did you buy from

A local motor factors. They did a search equivalent for the Gates 27093 submerged lines which are bloody expensive. Look up the DIN 73379 reference and these lines cover what we need at a reasonable price.
Metre length is enough to share with a friend.

According to Gates that DIN designation is NOT for use in a fuel tank.

check this out

https://ww2.gates.com/europe/brochure.cfm?brochure=2484&location_id=5165


SAE 30R10 is the spec you want

DIN73379 is SAE 30R7

I was hoping for a cheaper solution, but I do not think that is it.

Matt is correct, I was sold not what I asked for. Material is NBR/NBR and not NBR/CR sold to me.

thats the stuff I assume, never heard of the brand, but about the same price as the stuff over here

ive found it cheaper if you buy 10 feet at a time, but that is $200 worth of hose, when you really only need about 7-9 inches of it.

 

[Rugged Path]

But, as I have your s/steel U bend to install, I believe less.
Hoping that the 300mm length of this packaged hose plus two U bends will suffice for two tanks.
