Fuel lines require hose specifically rated for fuel compatibility: typically lined with nitrile rubber or fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds that resist petrol, diesel and biodiesel without swelling or degrading internally. Standard rubber hose is not suitable for fuel applications. The hose must also have low permeability to prevent fuel vapour from passing through the wall.

No. Standard rubber hose will degrade in contact with petrol, diesel or other hydrocarbons, leading to internal contamination, cracking and eventual failure. Only use hose specifically rated and tested for fuel transfer. Using the wrong hose on a fuel line is a fire risk.

Air brake hose carries compressed air through the brake circuit on commercial vehicles, HGVs, buses and trailers. It must withstand the working pressure of the pneumatic brake system, resist abrasion and flexing in the chassis environment, and remain functional across the vehicle's operating temperature range. Replacement hose must meet the pressure specification of the original component.

Note the internal diameter (ID), external diameter (OD) and overall length of the hose being replaced. For pre-made assemblies, you also need the fitting type and thread size at each end. Where the original hose has degraded, work from the system specification rather than the measured dimensions. If unsure, call our team on 01282 604002 with the vehicle make, model and application.
