Hi am just wondering would any knowlegdable persons on this forum have any opinions if this fuel line would be suitable for fuel injected buses

Heres the techy bits
7.3 ID x3.3
Max operating pressure 10 bar
Test pressure Max 20 bar
Continuous temperature after installation from -35c to+90c
Short term peak temp max + 110 c
Fufils DIN 73379-1/type2A

Its made from NBR/CR and has a imbedded yarn sleeve but its not quite as dense as some another hose that I split open

Any input would be appreciated as its difficult to track down a really suitable hose and would like to use the right one (for obvious reasons !)
Thanks

My opinion is that it would work perfectly.

As long as it fits over the fittings snuggly (not too tight but not loose) and looks as if it will hold up, I would trust it.

Be sure to get the solid metal band hose clamps as well, most problems with fuel hose going bad is at the ends where a worm gear clamp was tightened down to 75 ft lbs and chewed through the hose.

Yeah I always use the ABA ones even on carb buses
