Ever heard of this?
Quick question....Has any one ever heard of having steel braided FUEL hoses?
If so what difference does it make? |

Re: Ever heard of this?
It's simply the pressure rating. For typical carb applications the fuel pressure is a few psi (0.2 Bar say), for most injection systems it'll be a few Bar (typ. 3Bar).
The different types of hose are well demonstrated here

Re: Ever heard of this?
Yes heard of them, on the SV they make no difference, they do hold more heat than a nylon line, which can affect things if you're building a nitrous system, but I'm guessing you're not.
SV runs very little fuel pressure so you don't need them, if you were using a blow through turbo or something else needing silly fuel pressures then you might want some. All that said... they look blingy

Re: Ever heard of this?
I work for a hydraulic hose company and they make no differance what so ever. Unless you are using them on a high pressure injection system e.g wagon/car, even then they flex with the pressure and can give massive fueling problems, hence why we replace all injection lines with steel pipe.
I think it must purely be for looks. Cause everyone likes a bit of bling |

One minor advantage is resistance to chafing, but you'd need to have excessive length or movement to cause that on a bike.
