I'm spec'ing out a new fuel setup for my 502Mag (**** you, VST) and am wondering if the push-on hose and fittings is good in this service.
I like the clean appearance and it's cheaper than SS braided.
Thanks, Cole

The Teleflex fuel hose 16-368-0386 for 3/8 fuel line and the 16-386-0126 for 1/2 ect ect is Coast Guard approved and works well with push lock fittings when you ban clamp them. It is the new hose for ethanal fuels and we use it on all our builds.

And for the record, stainless braided is not USCG approved.

All I seem to be able to find is the Sierra equivalent, anyone got a link to genuine teleflex stuff?
Am I correct in thinking that I do not need any clamps to go with these fittings? If not, someone please correct me.

I get my Teleflex hose at the Boaters Value store and band clamping is a must on the 3/8 hose but I still do it on all sizes. Let me know what hose size and I will give you the correct band clamp numbers.
