DAYCO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DAYCO from 3G Electric.
What SAE standards do DAYCO fuel hoses supplied by 3G Electric comply with?
DAYCO fuel hoses in the 3G Electric catalog comply with SAE J30R7 (e.g., SKU 4GJW1, 1/4 in ID) or SAE J1527 (e.g., SKU 4GJW3, 3/8 in ID). These standards define construction, burst pressure, and fluid compatibility for low-pressure fuel lines. SAE J30R7 hoses are rated for gasoline, diesel, and ethanol blends up to 212°F, while SAE J1527 covers similar applications with slightly different dimensional tolerances. Always verify the specific SAE designation on the hose label before installation.
What is the temperature range for DAYCO fuel injection hoses like SKU 4GJW6?
The DAYCO fuel injection hose (SKU 4GJW6, 3/8 in ID, FKM tube) has a temperature range of -30° to 300°F. This range accommodates the higher thermal loads in fuel-injection systems, where fuel return lines and high-pressure pump connections can exceed 250°F. The FKM material provides resistance to oxidation and fuel degradation at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for diesel and gasoline direct-injection applications.
Are DAYCO metal exhaust hoses supplied by 3G Electric made of stainless steel?
Yes. All DAYCO metal exhaust hoses in the 3G Electric catalog (e.g., SKU 4GKA4, 4GKA5, 4GKA8, 4GKA7) are constructed from 304 stainless steel. This material offers corrosion resistance in exhaust environments where moisture, acids, and heat are present. The hoses are available in 4 in and 5 in inside diameters, with lengths of 18 in or 24 in, and are designed for flexible connection between exhaust components or for fume extraction systems.
What is the difference between DAYCO metal exhaust hoses and metal exhaust kits?
DAYCO metal exhaust hoses (e.g., SKU 4GKA4) are individual hose sections made of 304 stainless steel, sold by length and diameter. DAYCO metal exhaust kits (e.g., SKU 4GKC1) include the hose plus necessary hardware such as clamps or connectors for installation. The kit simplifies procurement by bundling components that match the hose diameter and length, reducing the need for separate sourcing of fittings. Both are available in 5 in ID and 18 in length configurations.
Can DAYCO fuel hoses from 3G Electric be used for biodiesel or ethanol blends?
DAYCO fuel hoses meeting SAE J30R7 or SAE J1527 (e.g., SKU 4GJW1, 4GJW3) are compatible with gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel blends up to B20, as well as ethanol blends up to E10. For higher ethanol concentrations (E85) or aggressive biofuels, the FKM fuel injection hose (SKU 4GJW6) is recommended due to its enhanced chemical resistance. Always consult the hose’s published fluid compatibility data for the specific blend percentage.
