Pipes and fuel hoses

Choosing the right fuel hose is crucial for engine safety and efficiency. An unsuitable hose can cause leaks, pressure drops, and in the worst cases, fires. At Nautica Basile, you'll find only approved and certified hoses, tested to withstand the harsh marine environment.

We stock spiral-reinforced PVC fuel lines, ideal for their flexibility and resistance to the elements, and copper fuel lines, perfect for more complex installations and high-temperature resistance. We also offer a range of fuel primer bulbs, essential for starting the engine and maintaining pressure in the fuel system.

Compatibility is key! Always check the internal and external diameter of the hose, the working pressure, and the type of fuel it supports. An incorrect choice can compromise engine performance. Ensure you select the correct gasoline hose for your application.

Fuel Hose: When to Replace It?

The fuel hose is a component subject to wear and tear. Continuous engine vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to the elements can deteriorate it over time. Regularly inspect the condition of your fuel line and replace it if you notice:

• Cracks or crazing


• Swelling or deformation


• Fuel leaks


• Excessive hardening

A fuel line in poor condition can cause serious engine problems, even leading to failure. Don't neglect maintenance and replace your fuel hose every 2-3 years, even if there are no obvious signs of wear. Consider upgrading to a premium gasoline hose for extended lifespan.

The Advice from the Nautica Basile Workshop

Don't compromise on safety! Always choose approved and certified fuel hoses, made from high-quality materials. A cheap hose might seem like a good idea, but it could cost you dearly in the long run.

FAQ

What is the correct diameter for my fuel hose?

The diameter of the fuel hose depends on the engine power and the length of the fuel line. Consult your engine manual for the recommended specifications. In general, smaller engines use hoses with an internal diameter of 8-10 mm, while larger engines may require hoses with a larger diameter.

How can I clean my fuel hose?

To clean your fuel hose, you can use a specific fuel system cleaner. Disconnect the hose and immerse it in the product for the time indicated on the packaging. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with compressed air. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the hose.

Are all fuel hoses the same?

Absolutely not. There are different types of fuel hoses, made of different materials and with specific characteristics. RINA and ISO 7840 approved hoses are designed to withstand the marine environment and ensure maximum safety. Avoid using non-fuel-specific hoses, such as water or compressed air hoses.
