Fuel System Hoses

Fuel System Hoses

CAUTION: All fuel hoses are made up of two laminations, an armoured rubber outer sleeve and an inner viton core. If any of the fuel system hoses have been disconnected, it is imperative that the internal bore is inspected to ensure that the viton lining has not become separated from the armoured outer sleeve. A new hose must be fitted if separation is evident.

COOLING SYSTEM HOSES

CAUTION: The following precautions MUST be followed to ensure that integrity of cooling hoses and their connections to system components are maintained.

Hose orientation and connection

1. Correct orientation of cooling hoses is important in ensuring that the hose does not become fatigued or damaged through contact with adjacent components.
2. Where ’timing’ marks are provided on the hose and corresponding connection, these must be used to ensure correct orientation.
3. Hoses must be pushed fully onto their connection points. Usually, a moulded form on the stub pipe provides a positive indicator.
