Apache 98108455 3/4″ 12ft 60 PSI Fuel Transfer Hose – Black, 2 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Apache 98108455 fuel transfer hose is engineered for demanding agricultural and industrial environments where reliability and safety are paramount. Constructed from high‑quality Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), the hose offers excellent resistance to oil, gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, and a variety of other chemicals commonly encountered on farms and in workshops. A built‑in static wire runs the length of the hose, actively dissipating static electricity that can otherwise ignite volatile vapors. The hose measures 12 feet in length with a 3/4‑inch outside diameter, providing a compact profile that can navigate tight spaces while delivering a robust 60 psi pressure rating. Both ends are equipped with male couplings, ensuring a secure, leak‑free connection to pumps, tanks, and other equipment. The hose operates effectively across a wide temperature range, from –20 °F to 160 °F, making it suitable for seasonal use in diverse climates.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this hose excels in a variety of real‑world applications. On a farm, it can be used to transfer fuel from storage tanks to tractors, generators, and irrigation equipment, reducing downtime and keeping machinery running smoothly. In a workshop setting, technicians rely on the hose to safely move lubricants, solvents, and cleaning agents between containers, minimizing the risk of spills and exposure. Construction sites benefit from the hose’s flexibility and durability when fueling equipment such as compact excavators, generators, and portable compressors. The hose’s resistance to kinking, thanks to internal spring guards, ensures uninterrupted flow even when the hose is coiled or positioned in confined areas. Its chemical‑resistant composition also makes it an ideal choice for handling biodiesel blends up to B20, providing peace of mind for operators who demand both performance and safety.

FAQ

What types of fuel can this hose safely handle?

The hose is rated for gasoline, diesel, up to 20% biodiesel blends (B10/B20), kerosene, and various oils. Its NBR composition provides resistance to these fuels without swelling or degradation.

Can the hose be used in extreme temperatures?

Yes. The hose operates safely from –20 °F up to 160 °F, making it suitable for cold‑weather winter operations as well as hot‑climate summer tasks.

How does the static wire improve safety?

The static wire runs the length of the hose and continuously grounds any static charge that may build up from moving fuel. This prevents sparks that could ignite flammable vapors, enhancing overall safety during fuel transfer.

Is the hose compatible with standard fuel pump fittings?

Both ends of the hose feature male couplings that match common 1/4‑inch fuel pump threads, allowing easy connection to most portable pumps, tank outlets, and equipment.

What warranty does Apache provide for this hose?

Apache offers a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase, along with access to technical support for installation and usage questions.
