Apache 98108455 3/4″ 12ft 60 PSI Fuel Transfer Hose Black (6 Pack)

Description

Product Overview

The Apache 98108455 fuel hose set is engineered for demanding agricultural and industrial environments where reliable fluid transfer is essential. Each hose measures 12 feet in length with a 3/4‑inch inner diameter, providing a balance of reach and flexibility that fits into tight spaces while delivering ample flow capacity. Constructed from high‑quality nitrile‑butadiene rubber (NBR), the hoses resist abrasion, oil, gasoline, diesel, biodiesel blends, kerosene, and a variety of other chemicals commonly encountered on farms and in workshops. The NBR material also offers excellent resistance to temperature extremes, maintaining performance from –20 °F up to 160 °F.

Every hose is rated for a maximum working pressure of 60 psi, ensuring safe operation when dispensing fuels, oils, or other liquids. The hoses feature built‑in static dissipating wire, which continuously grounds static electricity that can accumulate during fuel transfer, reducing the risk of sparks in volatile environments. Coupled male NPT fittings on each end provide a secure, leak‑free connection to standard fuel tanks, pumps, and equipment. The internal spring guards reinforce the hose wall at the fittings, preventing kinking and extending the service life of each hose.

Usage

These hoses are ideal for a wide range of applications, from refueling tractors, harvesters, and generators to transferring diesel, gasoline, or biodiesel between storage containers. Their compact 3/4‑inch diameter makes them perfect for maneuvering around equipment, while the 12‑foot length offers enough reach to connect distant tanks without the need for additional extensions. The hoses perform reliably in both indoor workshops and outdoor fields, handling temperature fluctuations and exposure to sunlight without cracking or hardening.

Farmers can use the hoses to fill fuel tanks on tractors, combine harvesters, and irrigation pumps, ensuring that machinery stays operational throughout the growing season. Contractors and mechanics benefit from the hoses when servicing diesel generators, oil‑filled hydraulic systems, or cleaning fuel lines. Because the hoses are compatible with gasoline containing up to 15 percent ethanol, they are also suitable for modern fuel blends used in many regions.

FAQ

What types of fuel can these hoses handle?

The hoses are compatible with gasoline (up to 15 % ethanol), diesel, biodiesel blends (B10, B20), kerosene, and various oils, making them suitable for most farm and industrial fuel applications.

How does the static dissipating wire work?

The embedded wire continuously grounds static electricity that can build up inside the hose during fuel flow, preventing spark formation and enhancing safety in volatile environments.

Can the hoses be used in cold weather?

Yes, the hoses are rated for operation down to –20 °F, allowing reliable performance in winter conditions without becoming brittle or cracking.

Are the NPT fittings compatible with standard fuel tanks?

All hoses feature male NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings, which are the industry standard for fuel and chemical connections, ensuring a secure, leak‑free fit with most tanks and pumps.

What is the warranty coverage for this hose set?

Apache provides a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal use conditions, backed by a responsive customer service team.
