Just be sure whatever you get is rated for injection/high pressure and not carburation. https://www.gates.com/us/en/fluid-power/eng...4219-05652.html |

R14 addresses permeability and that hose is not as flexible as R9. R14 can come in high pressure and low pressure versions - it’s up to the supplier to clearly define what pressure the R14 hose is rated for. Gates does has a fuel injection version of barrier hose. Again, buyer beware and make sure you get the fuel injection hose version of it if you go to R14. |
