This inexpensive kit will allow you to replace the old hardened and brittle fuel hose in your diesel's engine compartment as well as those old worn out factory clamps with new high quality worn gear clamps that will not cut into the rubber hose.
Product Details
You ask, What about that funny looking cigar shaped hose? We do sell those separately and ideally that should be your first choice, but from our experience running regularly fuel hose as the return hose works just fine. Even Mercedes went to regular hose on the later 60x engines (after 1985). Kit comes with 3 feet of correct size fuel hose and 6 HD clamps. The hose is not biodiesel spec but does hold up well to biodiesel if used in small amounts. If you are running B80 to B100 we recommend our other Super Flex fuel hose specifically made for biodiesel (enter Super Fuel into the search box)
PLEASE NOTE: No instructions are included but replacement is very straight forward.
