    plastic fuel hose......

    OK where do I get it....

    I've just found out that when you put heated dieso through ordinary fuel hose it umm leaks like a sieve in very short order.

    I cant find the stuff anywhere...

    Does anyone know anyone anywhere (preferabley brisbaneish) that I can get this stuff from, preferabley before friday.


    cheers.

    What internal diameter? and what temp?

    Other than NTP, which is a food/fuel grade hose (clear, webbed, rated to 150psi from memory) and available in a number of sizes, there is also "drum pump" and "chill-master". Although I've only seen those two in 1".

    I'll get the books out at work tomorrow.

    Have a look under the new Puma's - best description is it looks like plastic water pipe - it is definitely a different plastic line to the Td5.

    Don't know where you'd buy it though What about someone like Enzed, a CAT distributor or one of the agricultural machinery suppliers.

    Not usre how hot your going Dave, but the best fuel hose Ive come across (mostly marine apps) is the Yamaha fuel hose from a marine dealer. It sorta looks like silicone hose, no ribs, no rubber - lasts for ages in the sun etc etc... I think it will go okay with reasonable heat. Can get it in 8 or 10mm good stuff.

    If you mean the hard plastic hose as used on diesel series vehicles, then a mate said he bought some from pirtek/enzed.

    It's a pity you aren't closer Dave, I have several Disco Tdi wrecks you can have all the plastic fuel lines you want, even fitted for sediment bowl / filter connections aswell

    Try Qld. Diesel Spares. They have all sorts of stuff for maintaining trucks, fuel hose, brake air hose, induction hose and fittings, etc. Nearest one to you is 29 Flint St. Ipswich, 'phone 3281-5550. Where shall I send the invoice for my consultancy fee?
