Aeroquip Push Loc hose for EFI?

[Doug1]

Thanks guys. I'll look for some J30 hose.

Does anyone know of a push lock hose that is EFI certified?

I run Gates push lok on all our stuff. Never had an issue.

I've never had problems with XRP hose and fittings. I have seen issues mixing and matching hose and fittings; different manufacturers may have slightly different sizing on their fittings.

I also like their clamps for higher pressure apps, makes me feel better.

Agreed. Looks like I need to place an order for some new hose and bands. Too bad, that was a lot of expensive hose that's now trash. At least I learned a valuable lesson without burning the car down. Aeromotive shows their push lock hose is suited for fuel in it's brochures. I bought the hose because I bought their fittings. So off it comes and new hoses will be built before it drives anywhere again.

That's 11 hoses in my fuel plumbing. All under 3 feet or so but still a lot of hose. I might buy the Kool Tool push on hose kit to do that many hoses again. I had a sore shoulder last time trying to get the hoses on all the way. Even with lube that Aeromotive hose is stiff.

The gates hose is real easy to push on compared to some other brands. I have tried some pushlok that was so tight, I gave up.

Thanks. I'll look for the Gates stuff.

Otherwise I'd have to buy this from Kool Tools.... If I did this professionally, I'd buy this in a minute!

Of course, my motto is "there's no job worth doing that doesn't require a new tool" so.... I might buy it anyway. LMAO

Most fuel has ethanol in it now and will eat most of the an type hose. You have to make sure it is specifically rated for ethanol. In CA all pump gas has ethanol.
