In-Tank Fuel Lift Pump Hose For Deuce
At the time of this writing Gates does not produce a 1/2" ID hose that they recommend for in-tank/sumbersible use with today's fuels. (Gary, Gates Industrial Hose and Hydraulic representative, ph.303-744-5070). But, here's contact info with links to a supplier for 1/2" ID Fluoroelastomer hose (what Viton is made of). I spoke directly to the owner (Graydon), and he told me straight out that this hose will work fine for in-tank use with any-dang modern fuel you'd likely run in your Deuce, including Diesel, Biodiesel* and Biodiesel blends*, and even Gasoline, for $11.50 a foot. *Biodiesel/Blends is becoming more of an issue because it's use is becoming mandated in some places, and many pump hoses in our old trucks are Nitrile, and Nitrile has a poor compatibility with Biodiesel (see "Military Study" scan below)...

We've used this hose on our own personal diesel vehicles to replace the existing rubber fuel lines. Its been working extremely well and holds up to Biodiesel much better than the rubber lines do. The fluoroelastomer fuel line hose is rated to handle temperatures up to 400° F which makes it an ideal hose to use for waste vegetable oil (wvo) applications as well!
When converting a diesel vehicle to run on 100% Biodiesel, it's always a good idea to swap out all of the rubber fuel lines with Biodiesel compatible hose. Our B100 Fuel Line Hose is perfect for that application! Pick some up today!

It's important to mention that they haven't gone through the hoops to get this hose 30R10 rated. However, I've looked into Tygon, Nylon, Teflon, Nitrile, etc., talked to reps from various manufacturers, looked over chemical/material compatability sheets until I was bleary-eyed, and this is the only material/supplier combination I came across who openly stated "No problem" using this hose for our in-tank pumps (Fluoroelastomer is listed as having "Excellent" compatibility with all fuels we'd likely use, and this hose is Fluoroelastomer inside and out).
Also in my quest I called a more well-known supplier, DudaDiesel, on the 22nd of this month (another supplier of Fluoroelastomer hose), and during normal business hours I was put through to what was obviously a call center on another continent, even though they list an Alabama address. The rep could not answer my question, told me they'd pass the question on to a manager, and they'd call me back. Never happened. Called again today, normal business hours, and once again got put through to a person who spoke broken english. After having to repeat what product I was intersted in twice I gave up.
