DIN73379 Type B

The DIN73379 Type B collection is designed to meet the rigorous standards of fuel, oil, and vapor line applications in automotive and industrial environments. These hoses are manufactured to DIN73379 Type B specifications, ensuring reliable performance under challenging conditions. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, this collection is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts who prioritize both safety and performance in fuel delivery systems.

Built from high-quality elastomers, the DIN73379 Type B hoses offer exceptional resistance to fuel, oil, and heat, making them ideal for a wide variety of automotive and industrial applications. The materials used provide excellent stability and are engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to petroleum-based products without degradation, ensuring a longer service life and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

The design of these hoses emphasizes flexibility and ease of installation. This allows for efficient routing through tight or complex spaces, making them particularly well-suited for modern engine compartments where space is limited. Despite their flexibility, they maintain the structural integrity needed to perform consistently and withstand the demands of everyday use. This combination of flexibility and durability makes them a versatile choice for both original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket applications.

In addition to their structural strength, the DIN73379 Type B hoses incorporate a multi-layer construction that includes reinforced braiding. This design not only enhances burst resistance but also provides added protection against environmental factors, including UV rays and ozone. These hoses are built to endure demanding conditions while maintaining their effectiveness and reliability over time, giving you confidence in your fuel and vapor system’s safety.

The DIN73379 Type B hoses are also engineered to operate across a broad temperature range, maintaining their flexibility and resilience from high heat to colder conditions. This versatility makes them suitable for diverse climates and applications, whether for everyday automotive use or heavy-duty industrial operations. With such adaptability, they deliver consistent performance and peace of mind regardless of environmental challenges.

What is cotton braided fuel hose?

A small-bore fuel and oil hose with a rubber inner lining and an external cotton braid. The braid gives it strength and flexibility while producing the woven appearance that suits classic and restoration work. Built to DIN 73379 Type B, in 3mm to 12mm bores.

What is it used for?

Carburettor feeds, injector and fuel return lines, breather and tank vent lines, and general small-bore fuel and oil transfer in automotive, agricultural and industrial use. It is the natural choice wherever an original hose was cloth-braided and you want to keep that look.

What sizes and lengths do you supply?

13 sizes from 3mm to 12mm internal diameter, cut to order from 1 metre up to a 50 metre full coil. Order by internal diameter matched to the outside diameter of the barb or spigot - it should be a firm push fit, not a loose slide.

Is it E5 and E10 compatible?

Yes - the rubber inner lining is formulated for modern ethanol-blended fuels as well as diesel and oils. On a classic that is important: original cloth-braided hose from decades ago was never made for ethanol and degrades from the inside while the braid still looks perfectly presentable.

Why choose it over plain rubber fuel hose?

Appearance, mainly - on a classic engine bay a smooth modern hose looks obviously wrong where a braided one looks right. The braid also adds a degree of abrasion resistance. For a modern vehicle where nothing is on show, plain fuel hose is cheaper and equally suitable.

Can I use ordinary hose clips on it?

Yes - unlike stainless overbraid, cotton braided hose takes conventional clips perfectly well. Use mini fuel hose clips in the smaller bores, sized to the outside diameter of the fitted hose. Do not over-tighten: the braid marks and the rubber underneath is thin in these sizes.
