How long does a fuel hose last?

Having the right amount of fuel in a vehicle's combustion chamber is essential to keep the vehicle running properly. There are many different components that are responsible for keeping the fuel system working. To supply gas from the fuel tank to the combustion chamber, the fuel hoses must be in good condition. These hoses can be made from plastic, rubber or metal. The longer the same fuel line is left on the vehicle, the more likely it is that it will need to be replaced. Every time the car is started and run, fuel hoses must transport fuel into the combustion chamber.

These hoses can last anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 miles depending on what they are made from. The metal version of the fuel lines will be able to withstand the harsh conditions of the engine much more easily than rubber hoses. Take the time to inspect these hoses from time to time, this will help you spot repair problems before they become too much of a problem. A properly functioning fuel hose is vital to ensure that the right amount of gas is delivered to the combustion chamber.

Problems with your car's fuel system can be very dangerous, so it's important to find the right solution. A faulty fuel hose can cause gas to escape near the hot exhaust system and possibly start a fire. The last thing you want is to put yourself and your passengers in danger by delaying changing fuel lines.

Below are some of the things you may notice when the fuel lines on your vehicle need to be replaced.
