Fuel hose markings?
40inches - 28/5/09 at 01:23 PM

I have some textile covered nitrile rubber fuel hose marked DIN 73379 B rated at 10bar service pressure at -50c to + 90c operating temp will this be ok for IVA? can't find anything in IVA manual regarding fuel hose.
It's for ZX9R carbs, so low pressure.

that should be fine, the only thing i can find in there is

Fuel and electrical components must not be subject to either a corrosive environment or be exposed to heat sources likely to cause premature failure.

Quick google poke shows DIN 73379 seems to cover fuel hose, so that's probably enough, either that or add the word fuel to the pipe with tipex

can't remember which way round it is , but one fuel isn't compatable with the other,what I was told they are looking for is
suitable for unleaded fuel
suitable for leaded fuel
also to confuse issues injection
I got away with a letter from my local motor factors stating sold as suitable for unleaded carbed engine. but I have heard some centre want manufacturers specification.
common sense really if he passes it with wrong hose and the car catches fire and fries you it's his neck on the line as he signed the car off, just covering there own arses really
