R9 5.6mm Rubber Fuel Hose (Sold Per Metre)
This high-quality R9 5.6mm rubber fuel hose is designed for use in both carburettor and fuel injection systems across a range of classic Volkswagen models. Although it provides good performance, it is important to note that with the increasing ethanol content in modern unleaded fuels, R9 hoses are gradually becoming outdated. We recommend considering our ethanol-safe alternative (part number HOSEBIO55) to ensure long-term durability and performance.
High-Quality Construction:
The R9 fuel hose offers reliable performance for vehicles using traditional unleaded fuels. However, due to the rising levels of ethanol in modern fuels, it`s crucial to regularly inspect your fuel lines for signs of degradation. This hose provides a good balance between cost and quality, making it a popular choice for classic car enthusiasts, but annual checks during vehicle servicing are highly recommended.

- Annual Inspection Recommended: For those using the R9 hose, it`s important to check for signs of wear or degradation at least once a year, especially as ethanol content in fuel continues to rise.
Whether you`re maintaining your classic Volkswagen or considering an upgrade to an ethanol-safe fuel hose, this R9 5.6mm rubber hose provides a reliable solution for many applications.
