Fuel hose

[luggsy]

Hi can any one tell me what this fuel hose fitting is it is on a barrus shire 45 , it is a bayonet fitting clamped on the end of the hose please see picture thanks in advance

I think the fitting has a barbed hose tail pushed into the pipe and then the copper ferule is swaged onto the hose to make a fuel tight fit. The other" side" looks like a standard compression olive fitting. Just undo the nut while holding the threaded fitting so it does not twist.

Some boatyards can make them up to suit and I would expect most chandlers sell ready-made hoses that will also suit. Any hose must be marked to comply with the BSS. A hydraulic hose supplier should also be able to supply one to suit as long as they ensure it is BSS complaint.

The BSS Requirement for inboard engine fuel hoses to be to BS EN ISO 7840 and is the same as the RCD / RCR requirements.

I'm not sure that a Hydraulic hose would meet the requirements of the ISO specification.

As long as it is so marked to prevent future BSS failing it through ignorance.

You will need a replacement olive to fit the pipe at each end, as well as the BSS  compliant  hose.

True, and you will have to cut the old olives off so you can get the nuts off to fit the new hose

ASAP Supplies do other size/lengths of hose as well.
