Has anyone used the push loc hose and fitting? Has anyone had any luck with this style of fuel line .

i run it i like but tech told me to run steel braid around the trans area

It's on my car. No problems yet.

 

[slowstang]

i have used it for almost 15 years on some hoses on every car i had

 

[miclau]

anyone using it as the main supply line from the cell in the back to the regulators? Any problems to this?

 

[GoodFella]

I use it from my rear mounted cell up to my regulator. It has not caused any problems.

I'm using it for the entire fuel sustem. I'm only running a BG280 in the back set at about 16psi but I have been using that stuff in air lines up to 175psi the barbs are shaped differently and you won't get the hose back off without cutting it.

Silly question, but what is push loc hose??

 

[jboehm]

My entire fuel system is plumbed with it. My car is efi, so high pressure environment. I also use it for my tranny lines.

 

[hloeshot]

the only prob i had is tech said if it goes by the flywheel it has to be in a steel tube

I have read posts on this site and others about the hose deteriorating quickly. Must be important on who you get it from. May want to do a search just to be safe.

i run it even to my trans no problems - fuel system and all

Some of the push lock hose sold from summit and jegs is not rated for fuel use. I bet that is what deterirated.

Could be. I don't use it myself but i know I have read posts about guys having problems with it.

on your trans lines are you using any clamps or the crimp on style sleeves for the high pressure

i used it a few years back i didnt care for it the hose seemed to harden up .for the few $$$ more i would run the black braided line im using it now its sweet ..easy to put together ect ..

I have used the push lok stuff and I noticed it got hard and cracked after a year or so. I still use it on some stuff because I have some of it left. If I buy I buy the steel braided stuff. As said for the few extra dollars it is money well spent to me. I just tried the black braided stuff on a car and it is neat. Very flexible and cuts easy. I used tape around it to cut it but that didn't work because when you pull the tape off the black outer lining goes everywhere. I don't think I like the black for a neg. pressure hose such as an oil supply line. Some guys I know think it may be sucking together? How are you all cutting the steel braided? I'm using a chopsaw but was woundering about the big cutters like Summit sells.

We use it on everything, no issue at all. Even used it submerged and it holds up decent to that for a year or two, but I wouldnt recommend it. Certain aeroquip the fc662 I think and the blue stuff is legal, most other pushlok hoses arent actually listed as legal in nhra book, may have changed by now.

 

[mopwr2004a]

what brand oh hose is everyone using. I got some for a buddy of mine not sure what brand it is but it has cracks in it from drying out no leaks though.

I'll only use Aeroquip unless it's for something like a water line for an intercooler.
