got a tight spot by the tank, how tight can i bend this blue fuel hose without kinking it
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 30, 2026, 7:31 AM
For routing in cramped areas, the minimum bend radius is 3.5 inches. Keeping your bend at or above that radius helps it stay flexible without stressing the hose construction.
Question by: Pete G on Dec 19, 2025, 3:26 PM
hose rated for both gas and diesel, or just one of them?
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 21, 2025, 12:15 PM
Both are covered. The FC234-16 handles gasoline, diesel fuel, hot lube oil, and water, so you're not limited to a single fluid type. That flexibility is part of what makes it a solid pick for marine fuel systems where you may be dealing with more than one media.
