Continental Contitech 20296538 Fuel Injection Hose 5/16 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20296538 is a 25-foot fuel injection hose rated for demanding fuel delivery applications in automotive and light-duty equipment systems. The tube is constructed from a fluoroelastomer/nitrile compound, providing strong resistance to fuel permeation and chemical degradation. The outer cover is Hypalon, which holds up to underhood heat, abrasion, and incidental fluid contact. With a 5/16-inch inside diameter and compliance with SAE J30R9, this hose is built for high-pressure fuel injection circuits where barrier performance and temperature stability matter. Licensed HVAC, automotive, and equipment technicians rely on this type of hose for fuel system service and repair.

This hose is suited for fuel injection systems in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small engine applications where SAE J30R9-rated fuel hose is specified. The 25-foot continuous length allows technicians to cut to the exact size needed for individual runs, reducing waste on multiple jobs. It is appropriate for use with gasoline and gasoline-blend fuels in both port and throttle-body injection configurations. The fluoroelastomer/nitrile tube construction has been the standard formulation since 2010, replacing earlier compounds for improved permeation resistance.

Key Features

• 5/16-inch inside diameter suits standard fuel injection line fittings
• Fluoroelastomer/nitrile tube construction for low fuel permeation since 2010
• Hypalon outer cover resists heat, ozone, and underhood abrasion
• Rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F (-29 degrees C) to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C)
• Meets SAE J30R9 standard for fuel injection hose
• 25-foot length allows on-site cutting to multiple run lengths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fuel injection hose for applications specifying a 5/16-inch ID SAE J30R9-rated fuel injection hose in automotive and light-duty equipment fuel systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable fuel system service procedures. Relieve fuel system pressure and disconnect the battery before cutting or removing any fuel hose. Use appropriate hose cutters to produce a clean, square end before seating the hose onto barbed or quick-connect fittings. Inspect all fittings and clamps for wear before reassembly and verify there are no leaks before returning the vehicle or equipment to service.
