Fuel line
What brand of 1/4" fuel line do you folks suggest?
If you take a look on Amazon you'll find B&S, AC Delco and a bunch of other brands. Thanks. |
Buy fuel hose with SAE 30 R7 imprinted on the hose. Do not buy anything below R7.
R7 is rated for use with E 10. It's about $1-$1.50/ft most places. I believe the SAE spec means more than the brand. https://www.continental-engineparts....el-Hose/Produc |
Thanks, that's good to know. I'm not sure about others but I never gave thought to the SAE rating.
I was just wondering what brand others were using. Some state that they're product is still USA made and many others don't. Just curious about the brand name others lean towards. I think Gates was always a brand people mentioned when it came to hoses and belts. I did read about the SAE rating and found that J30R6 and J30R7 are made for fuel but not fuel injection and if it doesn't state J30 it's not intended for fuel. |

I have been using Tygon Fuel Line 1/4" ID X 3/8" OD or the 3/8 x 1/2 on any cub that needs a new fuel line.
I like the pretty yellow color and you can see the fuel flow condition. |
Not at all. I figure if SAE says that R6 or R7 is for fuel I'll be happy with R6.
I might check out the purrty yellow stuff Lew offered up. LOL Thanks all. |
Go with the R9 fuel injection jose. It is well worth the small price difference. I buy mine from NAPA. It is not worth it to use cheap fuel hose.
