EVIL ENERGY 8AN Fuel Line Kit – 10FT Black CPE Nylon Braided AN8 Fuel Hose

CPE Rubber Inner Liner

The inner liner is made from chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) rubber, a synthetic material used in certain automotive fuel and fluid hoses.

CPE offers compatibility with a range of petroleum-based automotive fluids, subject to the manufacturer’s chemical resistance specifications.

304 Stainless Steel Wire Reinforcement

The stainless steel reinforcement layer provides structural support and helps the hose withstand internal fluid pressure.

This reinforcement contributes to the hose’s advertised 750 PSI working pressure.

Black Nylon Outer Braid

The exterior nylon braid adds abrasion protection and gives the hose a clean black appearance suitable for custom engine bays.

The outer braid can help protect against ordinary contact and wear, but the hose must still be routed away from sharp edges, moving components, and excessive heat.

EVIL ENERGY 8AN Fuel Hose Specifications

Pressure and temperature specifications are manufacturer-advertised hose ratings. The assembled line must remain within the limits of its lowest-rated hose, fitting, seal, and connected component.

Compatible with Gasoline, Diesel, Oil, and Transmission Fluid

The EVIL ENERGY 8AN CPE braided hose is advertised for multiple automotive fluid applications.

Important E85 note: Do not assume this CPE-lined hose is suitable for continuous E85 exposure. Ethanol compatibility and fuel vapor permeability depend on the exact hose formulation. A properly rated PTFE-lined fuel hose is often preferred for dedicated high-ethanol fuel systems.

Ideal for LS Swaps and Custom Performance Fuel Systems

The EVIL ENERGY 8AN hose can be used to fabricate custom-length fuel lines for compatible performance applications.

Common uses include:

• LS1, LS2, LS3, and LS-based engine swaps

• Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette aftermarket fuel systems

• Ford Mustang performance fuel line upgrades

• Toyota Supra 2JZ fuel delivery plumbing

• Lexus IS300 2JZ-GE custom fuel systems

• Nissan 240SX SR20DET and KA24 builds

• Turbocharged Honda Civic and Acura Integra projects

• Mitsubishi Evolution and Subaru WRX fuel system modifications

• Compatible transmission cooler and oil plumbing installations

The hose is universal and does not directly replace factory fuel lines without suitable adapters and installation modifications.

8AN Fuel Line vs. 6AN Fuel Line

Choosing the correct fuel hose size is an important part of designing a performance fuel system.

A larger fuel hose can reduce flow restriction under comparable conditions, but fuel pump capacity, regulator selection, injector demand, and line length also affect fuel system performance.

Minimum Bend Radius: Why 88.9mm Matters

The EVIL ENERGY 8AN braided fuel hose has a manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius of 88.9mm, or approximately 3.5 inches.

Bending the hose more tightly than this specification can cause kinking, internal liner deformation, or excessive stress at the hose end.

For tight engine bay installations, consider compatible 45-degree or 90-degree AN hose ends rather than forcing the hose into a sharp bend.

This is particularly useful around fuel rails, fuel pressure regulators, and external fuel pumps.

How to Install EVIL ENERGY 8AN Braided Fuel Hose

1. Relieve fuel system pressure and follow appropriate safety procedures.

2. Measure the required hose length, allowing for routing and fitting insertion depth.

3. Cut the hose squarely using a tool suitable for reinforced braided hose.

4. Inspect the cut end for damaged reinforcement or liner deformation.

5. Select reusable -8AN hose ends specifically approved for the hose’s CPE construction and dimensions.

6. Assemble the hose ends according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions.

7. Route the hose away from exhaust heat, sharp edges, and moving components.

8. Maintain at least the specified 88.9mm minimum bend radius.

9. Secure the hose using suitable clamps and supports.

10. Pressure-test the completed assembly and inspect for leaks before operating the vehicle.

Fitting compatibility warning: Standard CPE braided hose ends and PTFE-specific hose ends are not necessarily interchangeable. Always match the fitting to the exact hose construction.

Does This 10FT Fuel Line Kit Include AN Fittings?

The supplied product description identifies a 10-foot length of 8AN CPE nylon braided fuel hose but does not specify the quantity or configuration of any included hose end fittings.

Although the product is described as a fuel line kit, customers should verify the actual package contents before ordering.

For custom installations, compatible -8AN CPE hose ends may be required separately.
