Hi guys,as Ethanol-mixed petrol is the norm by now (E5 and even E10) I strongly advice all of you to
change any/all petrol/fuel-hoses to new ones clearly marked as follows:
NBR-PET-CSM
Any of these two Preferred
FKM-PET-CSM
-----------------
DIN 73379 type E
ISO 4639 type 2
Alternatively Use any of these 4
SAE J 30 R7
SAE J 30 R9-11
-All of these approved for ethanol.Firsts 2 types approved for leisure-vessels so best of the best..
Beware that ALL others Will eventually start leaking,with danger of setting your car and/or garage
on fire!
The (ordinary) ones we used up till just a few years ago don't stand a chance with ethanol-
mixed petrol,so Please do yourself a favour to be safe!
I installed new ordinary petrol-hoses 2 years ago,we have E5 which I've tried to avoid best I could
but looking over my hoses i noticed they were rock-hard and cracked so new approved ones is on
its way to be installed asap. (I won't even use the car till then-overcausious? maybe-or maybe not.
Oh- and Don't listen to that dealer telling you the old types he want to get rid of first are all ok if new..
I've seen old stock put in front of E-approved ones on various dealers-shelves so Yes-it does happen!
This also gives a good clue if your dealer takes you as a customer serious.
