FEDERAL LAW
183.560 - Hoses clamps: Installation
Each hose clamp on a hose from the fuel
tank to the fuel inlet connection on the engine, a hose
between the fuel pump and the carburetor, or a vent
line must:
(a) be used with hose designed for clamps. |
This requirement does not apply to a tube used
to detect fuel pump diaphragm failure.
Hoses may or may not be designed to be clamped,
particularly wire or the mesh reinforced hoses. The proof
of whether or not a hose is satisfactory is that the hose
connection does not leak when subjected to the “Static
Pressure Test for Fuel Systems” as required by 183.542.
TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW
- Have you selected hose for your boat’s
fuel system that can work with hose clamps such that
connections will not leak when subjected to the “Static
Pressure Test for Fuel Systems” (183.542)?
