Gates GATES Engine Hose MFL1209

There has been a big evolution in car fuel technology: pressures have gone a lot higher, fuel permeation is legally controlled and there are numerous different fuel blends. These fuel blends have chemical compositions which can damage the rubber of standard fuel hoses, plastic seals and non-treated aluminium parts. These damages could result in vehicle fires. Incorrect usage of a specific hose type can lead to different problems, such as leaks, hoses becoming brittle and breaking up, fuel permeation through the hose material (bio fuel permeates quickly through standard nitrile hose material).
