High-Performance PTFE Corrugated Fuel Hose for Fuel Systems

High-Performance PTFE Corrugated Fuel Hose for Advanced Fuel Systems

At Teflon X, we understand that whether you are designing a high-performance racing vehicle or a critical aerospace component, the reliability of your fluid transfer system is non-negotiable. Our High-Performance PTFE Corrugated Fuel Hose for Fuel Systems represents the pinnacle of engineering excellence. Combining the unmatched chemical inertness of PTFE with a structurally advanced corrugated fuel tube design, this product delivers superior durability, safety, and flow efficiency in the most demanding environments.

As modern engines push for higher pressures and utilize more aggressive fuel blends, traditional rubber lines are becoming obsolete. They degrade, harden, and permeate fuel vapors. Our ptfe fuel line is the permanent solution, engineered to withstand the rigors of thermal cycling and corrosive additives while maintaining flexibility.

The Corrugated Advantage: Flexibility Meets Durability

The standout feature of our product is its unique geometry. Unlike smooth-bore hoses which can kink when bent too tightly, our ptfe corrugated fuel hose features a helical convolution. This corrugated fuel tube core allows for significantly tighter bend radii without compromising the internal diameter or restricting flow.

This flexibility is crucial in modern automotive and aerospace applications where engine bays are cramped and routing paths are complex. The corrugated design also acts as a natural vibration dampener. In high-vibration environments, such as race tracks or flight operations, the corrugated fuel tube absorbs mechanical stress that would otherwise cause fatigue cracks in rigid hard-lines or fittings.

Unmatched Chemical Resistance with Teflon Fuel Hose

At the heart of our hose is a liner made from high-grade Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This makes our teflon fuel hose virtually impervious to chemical attack. It is fully compatible with:

• Unleaded and Leaded Gasoline
• Diesel and Bio-Diesel
• Ethanol (E10, E85, E100) and Methanol
• Nitromethane and Racing Fuels
• Jet-A and Aviation Hydraulic Fluids
• Engine Oils, Coolants, and Transmission Fluids

Because the ptfe fuel line does not absorb fuel or degrade over time, it eliminates the “fuel smell” often associated with permeation in rubber hoses, making it ideal for enclosed spaces and cockpit routing.

Performance Under Pressure and Heat

A true high-performance hose must handle extremes. Our ptfe corrugated fuel hose is reinforced with a high-tensile stainless steel outer braid (available in 304 or 316 grade). This braiding prevents the inner liner from expanding under high system pressures, ensuring a firm pedal feel in hydraulic applications and consistent fuel pressure at the injector.

Thermally, the teflon fuel hose excels. It remains operational in temperatures ranging from -70°C (-94°F) to +260°C (+500°F). Whether it is routed near a turbocharger or operating in sub-zero atmospheric conditions, the hose maintains its physical properties, ensuring reliable fluid delivery.

Technical Specifications

Teflon X manufactures every hose to rigorous quality standards suitable for both automotive and aerospace sectors. Below are the general specifications for our High-Performance Series.

Static Dissipation for Safety

For high-velocity fuel systems, safety is our top priority. As fuel rushes through a non-conductive plastic tube, static electricity can build up, leading to potential arcing and fire hazards. Teflon X strongly recommends our Carbon-Impregnated Conductive ptfe fuel line for all fuel applications. This black liner allows static charge to safely dissipate to the fittings and chassis, providing a critical layer of safety for high-performance vehicles and aircraft.

Flow Efficiency

Despite the ridges, the internal design of our ptfe corrugated fuel hose is optimized to minimize turbulence. The gentle helical curve promotes laminar flow, ensuring that your fuel pumps do not have to work harder to overcome resistance. This results in cooler fuel temperatures and consistent pressure delivery to the engine.
