Fuel hose 1937 mm 332/G6498 JCB, genuine

Fuel hose 1937 mm 332/G6498 is a genuine JCB part for the JCB machines. According to the product card, the hose is 1937 mm long and runs from the pre-filter to the lift pump.

A fuel hose is the flexible connection carrying fuel between the tank, pre-filter, lift pump and leak-off line. Its flexibility absorbs engine vibration and movement between the cab and frame. It consists of a fuel-resistant inner layer and an outer protective cover. Over time the inner layer hardens and cracks: a hose on the suction side lets air in, so the engine starts badly or stops under load, while a hose on the pressure side leaks fuel and poses a fire hazard. Fine cracks on the hose surface show that the inner layer has aged too.
