Materials Used for Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride (8mm Size)
(Raw Materials in the Production of Fuel Transfer Hose for Pride, 8mm Size)
Given the critical function and position of this hose in the Pride car, it must be made from high-quality materials such as NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), which is specifically designed for the transfer of fuel or oil.
-
NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) is the result of polymerization of Acrylonitrile (ACN) and Butadiene at low temperatures.
-
NBR revolutionized the production of components resistant to various oils.
-
The rubber’s exceptional resistance to oils has led to its widespread use in automotive components such as seals, o-rings, and hoses.
NBR elastomers typically have a mix of 82% butadiene to 18% acrylonitrile or a balanced 50% of each. The level of ACN (acrylonitrile) is crucial in determining the properties of the final product. Increasing ACN enhances oil, solvent, and abrasion resistance, while decreasing it improves low-temperature flexibility and resilience.
Service Life of the Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride (8mm Size)
(Useful Life of Fuel Transfer Hose for Pride, 8mm Size)
The service life of the fuel transfer hose is approximately 3 to 4 years, assuming it is manufactured using high-quality NBR material.
Signs of Wear – Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride (8mm Size)
(How to Detect a Faulty Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride, 8mm Size)
-
Cracks on the outer surface:
The deeper and more numerous the cracks, the more degraded and brittle the hose is.
In such cases, immediate replacement is recommended. -
Bulging or uneven swelling:
Any noticeable bulging or uneven expansion of the hose surface signals damage. -
Peeling or “double skin” effect:
If the hose starts peeling or separating into layers, it is an indication of poor quality and aging.
Consequences of Hose Failure – Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride (8mm Size)
(Impact of Fuel Transfer Hose Failure – Pride, 8mm Size)
Given the critical nature of this hose in the vehicle, the most significant consequence of failure is fuel leakage, which can result in fire hazards and the ignition of the vehicle.
How to Identify a Good vs. Bad Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride (8mm Size)
(Identifying a Good vs. Bad Fuel Transfer Hose – Pride, 8mm Size)
-
A hose made from NBR generally has a smooth, glossy surface.
-
A high-quality hose will also have no blemishes or spotting and will not exhibit “double skin”.
“Double skin” refers to when a rubber hose separates into layers, indicating poor quality and the potential for rapid wear and tear.
-
Smell test:
If you cannot see the hose clearly due to insufficient lighting, you can smell it. High-quality hoses made from NBR generally have a sweet scent.
