FEDERAL LAW

183.532 - Clips, straps, and hose clamps

(a) Each clip, strap, and hose clamp must:

(1) Be made from a corrosion resistant material; and
(2) Not cut or abrade the fuel line.

A clip, strap, or hose clamp used anywhere in the fuel system must resist corrosion. The surfaces in contact with the fuel line must be smooth and their edges such that there will be no cutting or wearing of the fuel line.

It is recognized that all materials are corrosion resistant to a degree; however, the intent is to accept all stainless steel, plated steel, plastic coated steel, plastics and non-ferrous metals as suitable materials for clips, straps, and hose clamps.

TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW

Clips, straps, and hose clamps:

  • Are made of corrosion resistant material as defined above?
  • Will not cut or abrade the fuel line?
