Fuel & Diesel Delivery and Suction Hoses
When it comes to fuel & diesel delivery and suction applications—whether for diesel, gasoline, or other petroleum-based fluids—selecting the right hose is crucial for safety, durability and performance. Utigoflex, a professional manufacturer of rubber fuel hoses, offers high-quality solutions with working pressure options of 10 bar, 20 bar etc, available in smooth or fabric-covered surfaces for various industrial applications. Anti-static electricity with copper wire is also available upon request.
Proper operation and maintenance of rubber fuel hoses are essential to ensure safety, durability, and optimal performance. Follow these key precautions from Utigoflex when using rubber fuel&diesel hoses.
1. Check Compatibility
Ensure the hose material is chemically compatible with the fuel type (gasoline, diesel, ethanol blends, etc.).
2. Inspect Before Use
Look for cracks, abrasions, bulges, or soft spots—replace if damage is found.
Ensure fittings and clamps are secure to prevent leaks.
3. Avoid Extreme Working Conditions
Do not exceed the maximum pressure rating .
Keep hoses away from high heat sources, open flames, or sharp edges.
Protect from prolonged UV exposure to prevent rubber degradation.
4. Prevent Kinking & Sharp Bending
Route hoses smoothly to avoid sharp bends or kinks, which restrict flow and weaken the hose.
5. Replace Periodically
Even with no visible damage, replace hoses as recommended by the manufacturer (typically every 3–5 years, depending on usage).
Whether you need a smooth surface for easy cleaning or a fabric-covered hose for more abrasion resistant, Utigoflex provides reliable solutions for automotive, marine, industrial, and agricultural fuel systems etc.
