Gasoline Hoses for Transferring Gasoline, Diesel, and Other Fuels
As a specialized supplier of tube & hose technology for industrial and laboratory use, Reichelt Chemietechnik offers a wide selection of gasoline and fuel tubes in various designs, made from a range of materials. Our catalog includes diesel, biodiesel and oil hoses, all manufactured from high-quality elastomers and plastics.
These tubes are widely used in chemical engineering, process technology, and industrial plant construction, as well as in the petroleum industry, gas station technology, and the automotive sector. For these applications, NBR (nitrile rubber) and FPM (fluoro rubber) hoses are particularly common, serving as suction, pressure, dual-layer and heat-resistant hoses. They are also used in tankers, paint spraying, industrial applications, and dispensing systems. Diesel tubes are typically requested with diameters of ¾ inch or 1 inch, while tubing for gasoline is most popular in diameters of 5mm, 6mm, or 8mm.
The diameter of the hose determines the potential flow rate and, consequently, the speed at which fuel can be dispensed. A 5mm gasoline tube offers less throughput than an 8mm hose, which is ideal for transferring large quantities of fuel quickly. However, smaller diameters are advantageous for precise dosing. RCT also stocks tubing for gasoline with a 0.8mm diameter for specialized applications. Our experts are happy to advise you on selecting the most suitable material for your needs.
Fuel Hose Technology at a Glance
As noted, the tubing for gasoline we offer varies not only in design but also in the materials used in their manufacture. Here is an overview of the key elastomers and plastics used:
Detailed Properties of Gasoline Hose Materials
Fuel Hoses Made from NBR – Key Properties
The full range of NBR fuel hoses is resistant to most solvents, mineral oil products, alcohols, esters, and ketones, as well as to many paints, varnishes, and dispersions. For short-term use, these products also withstand exposure to chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Additionally, they are unaffected by animal oils, lubricants, silicones, coolant water, and diluted bases and acids. Depending on the design, NBR hoses also offer ozone, weather, and UV resistance.
Nitrile hoses, also known as Perbunan tubes, are commonly used for transporting fuels such as diesel, gasoline, and biodiesel. Variants are also available for use in food technology and potable water applications. These are physiologically safe, free of extractable components like plasticizers, and ideal for the food, pharmaceutical, and beverage industries.
The working temperature range for NBR tubing for gasoline is -20 °C to +110 °C, though the actual temperature resistance depends on the specific material compound and can be found on the product pages. These products are available as unreinforced versions for laboratory use and as dual-layer or industrial designs. The Shore A hardness is defined as 70° according to DIN 53505.
NBR tubes for gasoline are also available as antistatic hoses. These are considered electrically conductive with a discharge resistance of <10⁶ ohms. They are used as suction and pressure hoses, with or without steel spirals, in process engineering, refineries, and chemical technology. They are available in diameters of 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and larger.
A specialized variant is the biodiesel hose, which is also made from modified NBR. They are suitable for transporting biodiesel and E10 fuels and can handle up to 50% benzene content in the fuel without issue.
Another specialty is the paint spray hose made from nitrile rubber. They are frequently used for conveying paints, varnishes, and dispersions due to their exceptional elasticity and flexibility, combined with pressure resistance and mechanical stability. They are chemically resistant to acrylic resins, dispersion paints, spirit varnishes, and polyester varnishes used as two-component systems.
The NBR gasoline hose range includes the following:
- Antistatic tanker and chemical
- Chemical hoses
- Dual-layer heat-resistant
- Dual-layer industrial (metric and imperial)
- Dual-layer suction and pressure
- Paint spray hoses
- Industrial and chemical
- Industrial suction and pressure
- Fuel hoses according to DIN 73379
- Oil and gasoline pressure (antistatic and self-extinguishing)
- Suction and pressure oil and gasoline (antistatic)
PUR (Polyurethane): Another Elastomer for Gasoline Transfer
Polyurethane (PUR) is an elastomer, like nitrile rubber, that is resistant to gasoline and other fuels. PUR gasoline hoses are used for transferring diesel oil, gasoline, isooctane, cyclohexane, kerosene, and antifreeze. They are UV-resistant, ozone-resistant, as well as weather- and aging-resistant. They are available as pressure, chemical, antistatic hoses (electrically conductive) as well as fuel and lubricant hoses.
Chemical, pressure, and industrial products made from polyurethane are particularly pressure-resistant while maintaining high flexibility. This makes them ideal for flexible transfer in the automotive industry, measurement and control technology, equipment construction, and for compressed air supply in pneumatic tools. Reinforced pressure hose designs can withstand up to 207 bar at +20 °C, while solid PUR tubes can handle up to 30 bar at +20 °C, depending on the design. The material is highly flexible and elastic, offering excellent mechanical strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance. This ensures minimal bending radii with high kink resistance.
PUR material is free of heavy metals, plasticizers, and silicone, and it is fully recyclable. The Shore A hardness ranges from 70° to 95° (DIN 53505), and the operating temperature range is from -40 °C to +120 °C, though these values may vary depending on the specific tube design. Detailed technical data can be found on the respective product pages. We offer PUR tubing for gasoline in inner diameters of 10mm, 8mm, 6mm, 4mm, and 2mm, as well as additional intermediate sizes and larger versions.
Our range suitable for gasoline applications includes these hoses:
- Lumen or multi-channel
- Chemical and pressure
- Chemical and industrial
- Pneumatic
- Calibrated and colored chemical
- Fuel and lubricant
- Welding spray
- Spiral
- PUR-LDPE dual-layer high-pressure
Gasoline Hoses Made from Polyvinyl Chloride and TYGON®
TYGON® fuel hoses are designed for the transfer of both leaded and unleaded gasoline. They are also resistant to heating oil, kerosene, lubricants, and glycol-based coolants. Furthermore, they are unaffected by weak alkalis, stronger acids, ozone, and UV radiation. These specialty hoses feature an ultra-smooth interior surface, preventing the formation of bacterial nests or other microorganism deposits.
TYGON® tubing is made from a high-quality, cross-linked PVC compound that ensures a long lifespan and greater chemical resistance compared to standard soft PVC. Even with prolonged use, the tubes remain resistant to oxidation. The gas permeability of TYGON® tubes is significantly lower than that of comparable rubber hoses, making them nearly gas-tight.
As with other elastomer hoses, TYGON® products have a Shore A hardness of 57° according to DIN 53505, making them soft and flexible. The operating temperature range for the two available types—the pump hose (optionally with stoppers) and the fuel and lubricant hose—is specified as -10 °C to +74 °C for continuous use.
In addition, standard PVC formulations are also available for gasoline transfer. Among these, the PVC gasoline and oil hose is particularly noteworthy. This material is flexible, durable, and perfectly suitable for transporting mineral oils, fats, gasoline, diesel fuel, and other aliphatic hydrocarbons, including ethanol. However, its temperature resistance is slightly lower, ranging from -15 °C to +60 °C.
Additional Plastics and Elastomers for Fuel Hoses
Here are the other materials in our product range that are suitable for gasoline:
- FPM/FKM: Fluoro rubber, usually black in color, is a soft and highly elastic fluoroelastomer that can withstand temperatures from -20 °C to +200 °C, with short-term resistance up to +250 °C. Compared to other elastomers, FPM has excellent chemical resistance. It is resistant to aliphatic, aromatic, and halogenated hydrocarbons, as well as fuels (such as gasoline and diesel), various acids, and mineral oils. However, it is not resistant to alkalis, alcohols, esters, ketones, or other polar solvents. Thanks to its high temperature resistance and outstanding flexibility, FKM hoses are frequently used as gasoline hoses.
- PP and PE: Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are thermoplastic polyolefins—common plastics that most people encounter daily in products like packaging films and kitchenware. Hoses made from these materials are relatively hard and rigid, but they are cost-effective and both chemically and thermally resistant. Depending on the design, polyolefin hoses made from PP and PE can be used in temperatures ranging from -50 °C to +120 °C. Their chemical resistance includes protection against petroleum products, fuels, oils, fats, alcohols, esters, ketones, and many acids and alkalis. PE and PP fuel hoses are thus an economical and mechanically robust alternative to specialized gasoline hoses.
- PTFE: Polytetrafluoroethylene, a thermoplastic fluoropolymer, is a true all-rounder. Few materials are as chemically resistant: only elemental fluorine and molten alkali metals can attack it. Its temperature resistance is also exceptional, ranging from -200 °C to +260 °C. PTFE fuel hoses are often available as composite designs, ensuring very high pressure resistance, making them suitable for demanding applications.
