Diesel fuel hoses have many great benefits that make them ideally suited for the transportation of fuel, diesel, oil and other similar substances.
These consist of the following:
- Strong, reinforced, and hard-wearing
- High fire resistance
- Oil, fuel-resistant
- Abrasion resistance
- Available in multiple coloured prints, logos and lengths
- Have a wide temperature range
- Alternative to rubber hose
- Many individual Benefits and features
Let’s go into more detail about each of these below.
Strong, Reinforced, and Hard Wearing
These fuel hoses are constructed with a 3-layer process which consists of a specially formulated blend of PVC and nitrile compound, which is then strengthened by 24 polyester braid reinforcement.
This unique blend of PVC is then heated and chemically bonded to create a robust and reliable hose solution.
As it is specifically designed to convey diesel fuel, this hose is resistant to oil and fuel. It will withstand prolonged contact with these substances.
This resistance is because it is a hard-wearing hose that offers excellent abrasion resistance, fire retardancy, flexibility and a long life span.
High Fire Resistance
As the primary use of these fuel hoses is the transport of flammable substances such as diesel and oil, these hoses have high fire and flammable resistance properties to suit this task.
Oil, Fuel Resistant
Fuel has corrosive elements in it. Consequently, any transportation hose that is designed to come into regular contact with these substances must be designed to resist these properties.
Consequently, the construction process for these fuel hoses uses a specially formulated blend of PVC and nitrile compound to make these hoses resistant to the corrosive effects of the oil and fuel being transported inside them.
Abrasion Resistant
Due to these hoses tending to be used a lot on garage forecourts and other high-use and trafficked areas, they must be abrasive resistant to prevent fuel from spilling everywhere.
As a result, these hoses have been specially strengthened and reinforced to help to prevent this type of issue.
Multiple Coloured Print, logos and Lengths
We understand that 1 size does not fit all requirements.
As a result, these hoses can be manufactured with coloured print, specific logos, and sizes depending on your requirements.
Have a Wide Temperature Range
These hoses need to operate outside and be available to the elements, so they have been constructed to be useable under many varying temperature ranges.
Consequently, these hoses can be used from -25°C to 45°C.
Cheaper Alternative to Rubber Hose
Due to their construction and reinforced properties, these fuel hoses make a great alternative to standard rubber hoses and come at a much-reduced cost to manufacture and supply.
