In tank fuel hose?

Just wondering if normal hose will last long, or what will happen to it?

Mine seems to have split and I need to replace it. The one that I got doesnt mention either way what it can be used for, so this really means it probably cant really be used submersed.

I have ordered some off of Ebay that reckons it is just for that so the main Question is this; will normal hose last me for a week till I can replace it with the stuff I know should work fine?

Cheers

Fuel hose comes in a variety of flavours, but quite often the outside layer isn't necessarily particularly fuel resistant, it's often a "more cost effective" (cheaper) spec which is more suited to ozone resistance etc which helps prevent crazing and cracking especially under bonnets.

It might well be OK for a limited time although you'll very probably see quite significant swelling of the outer layer, and it may even become sticky and/or rub off on your fingers. If you have time, put a piece in fuel in a bottle for a day and see what it looks like, swelling usually occurs relatively quickly if it's going to.

Definitely get some stuff intended for in-tank application.

No good... looks like ill have to wait until I get the submergable stuff through. Doh.

Thanks for the info embee!

Im shocked! I ordered that submersible pipe off of ebay at about 4pm yesterday and it arrived this morning! So fingers crossed all is well now
