Tygon is available in short sections or on a large roll and can be quite expensive, but it will outlast the standard vinyl by many years and does not turn brown and brittle after extended use, as vinyl tubing often does. Standard rubber vacuum or heater hose should never be used in fuel applications.
What’s the best way to repair a fuel line?
Find a clean area with minimal rust. If you can flare the end, the connection with the hose will be more secure. Use the more expensive fuel injection clamps. Replace as much of the rusted area with steel as possible. Make the last connection with rubber hose.
Can a compression fitting be used on a fuel line?
Compression fittings are fine for low pressure steel lines like fuel pump lines. This probably depends more on where you live and what you’re vehicle inspection entails. – Ben Oct 30 ’16 at 22:42 I’ve read it on various forums saying they’re not recommended on high pressure lines like fuel.

Neoprene with an outer steel braiding is also offered for custom applications; however, it is difficult to clamp with a standard worm gear clamp. Special AN-type fittings are often necessary with steel-braided fuel line. When a bent filler neck hose is necessary, wire-inserted fuel hose is also offered.
What kind of pressure does a fuel line hose need?
Working pressure is not relevant, but wire-inserted hose can withstand 50-85 psi, depending on diameter. High-pressure fuel hose for clamp-type fuel-injection systems is also available. This fuel hose is SAE 30R9-rated and uses a fluoro elastomer inner liner that will withstand up to 180 psi and 300 degrees.
Can a neoprene fuel hose be used for PCV?
Standard neoprene fuel hose can be used for fuel, PCV and EEC systems on all vehicles where working pressures are under 50 psi or vacuum ratings are under 24-in. Hg for 7/16-inch and smaller inside-diameter sizes (10-in. Hg for ½-inch diameter hose).
What kind of fuel line is SAE 30r6?
The SAE 30R6 and 30R7 neoprene fuel line is gasahol, lead-free fuel and diesel fuel resistant. The fuel injection hose, SAE 30R9 can be used with 100% methanol.
