Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fuel Hose?

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

I think Rob wants to keep the cloth-braided original look.

 

It wasn’t that long ago that one could get such a hose made by Sytec in England. Carbureted applications (so, low pressure), 8mm (5/16”) ID which fit perfect on the hose barbs and in modern SAE J spec to handle up to E10 fuels. Great...

 

Now, no more. Although, this alternative is very close:

 

www.stoddard.com - 7.5mm Cohline braided fuel hose

 

Haven’t bought any so can’t say for certain how tight it would be to fit onto the carb inlet hose barbs (and if it would have any affect on delivery volume from the 0.5mm smaller hose ID. I doubt it). They don’t give a model range this is suitable for, but figure this is meant for ‘60s/’70s carb’d Porsches.

 

If you’d do the entire engine compartment’s hoses, you’d need around 4 meters (approx.. 12 feet) if memory serves me right.
