Fuel Hose, 5.6mm ID, SAE J30 R9, Metre (Codan)

This is high quality CODAN high specification R9 fuel hose, which is an ideal upgrade / replacement hose for all Air-Cooled vehicles, including Beetle, Ghia, Type-3 & Buses.

This is R9 from a trusted, well known European manufacturer and comes highly recommended, especially with the switch to E10 fuels.

The specification is referred to as SAE J30 R9, and is used on modern fuel injection vehicles, it is designed to withstand modern unleaded fuels.

Over recent years, fuel at the pump has been replaced with a grade referred to as E10. It contains a 10% mix of Ethanol. The Ethanol mix is better for the environment, but unfortunately degrades rubber fuel hoses. SAE J30 R9 fuel hose is designed to withstand the level of Ethanol in E5 and E10 fuels.

 

Please note, we no longer stock original style cloth braided fuel hose, as the SAE J30 R9 is much safer. Fuel hoses should be checked every few months, and replaced, if there are any signs of degradation. We believe that anybody using the old style cloth (or stainless) braided should now upgrade to the more modern higher specification. It is far better to be safe.

 

The hose has a 5.6mm internal bore, which is ideal for all standard installations as well as most twin carburettor set-ups.

The external diameter is 12.6mm, which is larger than the original cloth braid hose, so you will need to use larger clips. We keep the correct clips in stock, Item code 054.690.50.

 

This hose is black, and is printed with CODAN 3133 SAE J 30 R9 FKM - NBR - CSM FUEL HOSE 5.6mm ID

Designed to be used on modern Fuel Injected vehicles, but is obviously compatible with Carburettor Fuel Systems, as found on Air-Cooled vehicles.
