What is the inner diameter of an 8AN hose?

An 8AN hose size typically corresponds to an inner diameter of 7/16 of an inch. This size is often used for fuel delivery lines where a balance of flow capacity and manageable size is needed.

What makes the PTFE inner lining beneficial?

The PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) inner lining is highly resistant to a wide range of fuels, including gasoline, ethanol, and methanol. This resistance prevents the hose material from degrading and contaminating your fuel system.

Can this hose be used with high-performance fuels?

Yes, the PTFE inner lining is specifically chosen for its compatibility with various fuels and additives commonly found in high-performance applications. The stainless steel braid adds the necessary strength to handle higher pressures.

Product Details

This 6-foot length of Fuelab hose uses a PTFE inner lining reinforced with a stainless steel braided outer layer, all covered by a black nylon sleeve. The PTFE lining is key here; it's incredibly resistant to most fuels and additives, meaning it won't break down or contaminate your fuel system over time. The stainless steel braid adds strength and durability, protecting the PTFE from abrasion and pressure spikes, while the nylon outer layer provides a clean look and further abrasion resistance.

The 8AN size designation refers to the hose's inner diameter, which is 7/16 inch. This size is commonly used in fuel systems where a good flow rate is needed without being excessively large. It's a well-built hose that's flexible enough for routing around engine bays and chassis components, yet rigid enough to hold its shape once installed. You'll find this type of hose is a popular choice for custom fuel line setups, especially when dealing with high-performance applications or when replacing older rubber hoses that might be degrading.
