In this video we will be going over what exactly is PTFE Fuel Hose and if it's a good value for what you need it for. PTFE fuel hose has a white teflon liner that is very resistant to different fuels, oils and chemicals. around the teflon liner is a stainless steel braid that Protects the teflon liner and protects the ptfe line from deforming. Surrounding the stainless steel braid is a nylon braid that not only looks good, it also protects the stainless braid from abrasion. We will be going over the pros and cons of the PTFE fuel line and whether or not it is a good value and option for your project or not.
I'm doing my entire vehicle in Evil products, it's an 88 Burb. so far so good.
I havnt had any issues yet 👌
Nice video, Quick tip: Wrap the adjustable wrenches with some black tape. Just one or 2 layers max. Not too thick. No tape? Don't remove the wrenches while tightening and if you do, put them in the same exact spot on the fittings to prevent scratching the entire fitting.
Great video, thanks for the knowledge 👍🏻
I appreciate it 👍
@@NightWrencher yes sir anytime
You also increase your chances of damaging your fittings
by having your adjustable wrenches:
(1) Loose on the fittings
(2) Turned the wrong way, for tightening ( @10:22 )
Best wrenches to use, for such fittings, are flare nut wrenches
(also best for brake lines). 😁✌🖖
Well #2 my wrench had skipped so I was readjusting it 😂
Put tape on your wrenches to avoid damaging the coating on the fittings, easy cheap solution
I have been clamping the tool Eval sends with kit into a vice and pushing the nylon hose onto the ferrule.
I've gotta try that
@@NightWrencher On AN6 it goes easier than you think, so keep checking how far the hose is going into the olive. It's hard to pull the hose back without messing up the olive. 8AN and up, not so much. Unless you are the type of guy who snaps off LS damper pulley bolts.
What's the name of that tool for expanding the inner hose. I need one
White Teflon is ok for engine oil or engine coolant, not for gasoline.
The PTFE hose I use is rated for fuel and E85 use, I'm calling BS on this claim 🤷♂
Important to note that pressure rating varies depending on fitting style used in the kits
EDIT: I think you're confusing PTFE based plumbing tape with PTFE hose?
@@scod3908 The white Teflon hose is an electrical insulator, allowing static electricity to build up and potentially causing a spark. The gray to black colored Teflon hose is carbon impregnated, allowing static electricity to dissipate. Either hose can be rated to be compatible with gasoline or e85, only one discharges static electricity safely. All automotive fuel hose is carbon impregnated for this reason.
@@gfbemc0256 maybe for aviation spec, but there are thousands of auto application specs that wouldn't fly with aviation inspectors, if you can excuse the pun
With how permeable other fuel hoses are, I'd be more concerned about stock rubber hose than using regular PTFE hose when it comes to safety. Stock hoses rot, PTFE is notoriously long-lived. Black rubbers are carbon impregnated for a variety of other reasons.
Pure petrol/gasoline won't ignite with a spark without the presence of air, you can drop a spark plug into liquid petrol and it won't ignite, I've seen it demonstrated (followed by a lit cigarette, which also didn't ignite).
PTFE hose braid is grounded at both ends so nothing should arc thru the fuel inside the hose, so what are you worried about? Arcing thru the PTFE insulator? PTFE is an *extremely* good electrical insulator at 10^18 Ω·cm (believe it or not, air is much more conductive than PTFE)
@@gfbemc0256 if it was a concern, there wouldn't be dozens of companies selling the white PTFE hose as suitable for fuel.
I call sales gimick, an excuse to have an even more expensive PTFE hose now that prices are slowly coming down with competition.
I'm more concerned by people using aluminium AN fittings with tube bends for high pressure chassis to engine mounted applications. Aluminium does not have an infinite fatigue limit like steel.
I wonder how durable it is and if the filters work as good as other brands.
Theres only 1 way to find out 😎
@NightWrencher Your right, Evil send me a care package 🤣
So far orb fitting doesn't have a machined spot for the o ring all threads
Easy to have a good opinion when you get the item for free
It is, even easier when you actually buy the product and then are given some for free after 😂 kinda like a bonus prize
Did you miss the part where he bought a bunch of it first? lol
I am pretty sure that you are supposed to be using carbon impregnated teflon hose for fuel. The teflon will be dark gray or black if it is carbon impregnated. The flow of fuel thru the hose could generate static electricity, the carbon impregnation dissipates the static electricity. All rubber fuel hose is carbon impregnated, to dissipate the static electricity.
That's interesting, never heard of this mentioned. I'll have to check it out but I've had this style of fuel line checked and it always passes tech so I'll look into it
Supposedly the static shorts thru the teflon to the braid causing pinholes which could later cause a fire. Not sure how true it is. I have carbon on my car now but I also got some pinholes lol so I am trying to research some fuel line. I only need a foot. Seen this stuff pop up a few times.@@NightWrencher
Very interesting. I'll have to dig deep into the topic because it does make sense.
👍💪
👊💪
😢
Why are you crying 😂
