Flexible White Rubber Fuel Hose — Reliable Petrol, Diesel & Oil Line Tubing
Tracking down a fuel line leak on a small engine, garden machine, or vintage vehicle is frustrating enough without having to order the wrong size hose twice. Whether you're a home mechanic replacing a cracked carburettor feed line or a workshop technician routing a diesel return pipe, you need a flexible rubber fuel hose that fits precisely, seals cleanly, and holds up to the fluids running through it.
Each piece of this flexible white rubber fuel hose is sold by the metre in three cut lengths — 0.8m (≈31.5"), 0.9m (≈35.4"), and 1.0m (≈39.4") — and is available in a wide range of inner diameter × outer diameter combinations from 1.5mm × 13mm up to 25mm × 32mm. The tubing is constructed from rubber compound formulated to resist swelling and degradation when in contact with unleaded petrol, diesel, and lubricating oil in low-pressure applications.
Typical use cases include carburettor fuel feed lines on lawnmowers and chainsaws, gravity-feed diesel return pipes on tractors and generators, oil breather hoses on small 4-stroke engines, and coolant overflow tubing where a flexible, chemical-resistant pipe is needed. The white finish also makes it easy to spot staining or seepage during routine inspections.
ℹ️
Compatibility Note: This hose is designed for low-pressure gravity-feed and return-line fuel applications. It is not rated for high-pressure fuel injection systems. Select your inner diameter (ID) to match the OD of your fitting or nipple for a secure, leak-free connection.
✅ Key Features of These Flexible Rubber Fuel Hose Pipes
-
⛽Fuel-Resistant Rubber Construction — Formulated to resist swelling and softening when exposed to unleaded petrol, diesel, and lubricating oil, making it a dependable choice for small engine fuel line replacement.
-
📐Wide Size Range — Inner diameters from 1.5mm to 25mm paired with matching outer diameters let you find the exact fit for carburettor hose, oil breather pipe, or diesel return line applications without adapters.
-
🔄Flexible & Easy to Route — The rubber compound remains pliable at typical workshop and engine bay temperatures, allowing the hose to bend around tight corners without kinking or collapsing the bore.
-
✂️Cut-to-Length Convenience — Available in 0.8m, 0.9m, and 1.0m sections that can be trimmed with a utility knife, so you get the exact run length you need with minimal waste.
-
🔍White Finish for Easy Inspection — The light-coloured exterior makes fuel staining or seepage immediately visible during routine checks, helping you catch small leaks before they become bigger problems.
-
🔧Compatible with Standard Hose Clamps — Works with worm-drive jubilee clips and barbed push-fit fittings, so no special tools or proprietary connectors are required for installation.

⚠️
Size Tip: Not sure which size to order? Measure the outer diameter of the fitting or nipple the hose will connect to — that measurement should match the hose inner diameter (ID). If you're between sizes, size down for a tighter, more secure fit.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right inner diameter for my fuel line?
Measure the outer diameter of the fitting or nipple the hose will slip over. The hose inner diameter (ID) should match that fitting OD as closely as possible for a snug, leak-free seal. For example, a fitting with a 6mm OD typically pairs with a 6mm ID hose. When in doubt, size down rather than up — a slightly tight fit is generally safer than a loose one.
Is this hose rated for unleaded petrol and diesel?
Yes. This rubber tubing is generally suitable for use with unleaded petrol, diesel, and lubricating oils in low-pressure gravity-feed or return-line applications. It is not rated for high-pressure fuel injection systems. Always verify the operating pressure of your application before installation.
Can this hose be used outdoors or in engine bays?
This hose is typically suitable for sheltered engine bay environments. Prolonged direct UV exposure or extreme heat (above approximately 80°C / 176°F) may reduce service life. For outdoor installations exposed to weather, consider adding a protective sleeve or routing the hose away from direct sunlight.
What is the wall thickness of this tubing?
Wall thickness varies by size and equals (OD − ID) ÷ 2. For example, the 4mm ID × 6mm OD variant has a 1mm wall thickness. Check the variant dimensions listed in the size selector to calculate the wall thickness for your chosen size.
What hose clamp or fitting type is compatible with this tubing?
Standard worm-drive hose clamps (also called jubilee clips) are generally compatible. Select a clamp whose range covers the hose outer diameter. Push-fit barbed fittings are also commonly used with this type of flexible rubber tubing for quick, tool-free connections.
How do I convert the hose length from metres to inches or feet?
Use these quick conversions: 0.8m ≈ 31.5 inches (≈2.6 ft), 0.9m ≈ 35.4 inches (≈3.0 ft), 1.0m ≈ 39.4 inches (≈3.3 ft). Choose the length that gives you enough slack for routing without excessive bends.
Can I cut this hose to a shorter length?
Yes. This flexible rubber tubing can be cut cleanly with a sharp utility knife or hose cutter. A straight, square cut ensures the best seal against fittings and clamps.
