Detailed Product Description

This fuel hose is made from nitrile, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to petroleum-based fluids, ensuring durability and longevity in fuel system environments. The 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) inside diameter and 0.62 inch (16 mm) outside diameter provide a balance between flexibility and strength. With a centerline length of 25 feet (7.62 meters), the hose can be cut to fit specific routing needs in Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles. Rated for a working pressure of 50 psi and a maximum temperature of 257°F, it is suitable for standard fuel line applications but is not pressure rated for fuel injection systems. The vacuum rating of 24 inHg supports its use in PCV and EEC systems, helping maintain proper engine ventilation and emissions control.
