Re: [MBZ] good fuel hose

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

I bought some of the Gates 400 PSI transmission cooler line.  It 
should be compatible with petroleum Dissel.  It is a grade or two up 
from what they sell as fuel line.



The first time I replaced it in the Dogde van, the OE stuff only 
lasted 7-8 yrs.  The rplancement trnas cooler hoses only lasted a yr 
or two.  The last time, it was the gates stuff, and they lasted 7-8 
yrs so far in transmission service.  (higher temps and pressures)



Anything Trident will be excellent stuff.  Various diameters and
applications.

I think the short hoses without fittings are really bulk hose at the dealer. 
The EPC will state this by showing the quantity by the meter.

Have you looked at McMaster-Carr?
I bought some viton hose for return line hose that lasted amazingly well.

 Subject: [MBZ] good fuel hose
   
Most of the flaps fuel hose lasts only 5 years or so.  sometimes 
more, sometimes less.

Has anyone found a source for good quality hose that may be locally 
available at major cities?  (Like Grainger)

If that is not possible, is there a online source?

Do the dealers stock bulk hose?  I doubt it.  Most dealer hoses are 
sold with fittings on one end for big money.


While I have the tank out, I need to replace the hoses.  Because the 
line out is a royal pain on a 124, i don't want to have to do it 
again in less than 20 years.

Is there any superhose out there?
