Choosing the Right Fittings and Hose

When it comes to fuel and oil systems, choosing the right fittings and hose is critical for both performance and reliability. Using high-quality components helps ensure your system can handle the demands of high-performance and race applications.

We use and recommend Speedflow fittings and hoses. They are Australian made and have been supplying the motorsport industry for decades. Speedflow products are designed to handle extreme pressure, heat, and vibration — making them a reliable choice for performance builds.

Their fittings use an AN 37-degree flare sealing system, which provides a strong, leak-free connection when installed correctly.

A few important things to keep in mind:

- Avoid tight bends in braided hose, as this can restrict flow and place unnecessary stress on the hose.

- Choose the correct hose size for your fuel system — this will depend on your fuel supply and the horsepower your engine is producing.

- Regularly check all fittings, as vibration over time can cause them to loosen.

Taking the time to select the right components and inspect them regularly can make a big difference in the reliability and performance of your setup.
