Motorcycle Chemical Resistance Rubber Automotive Tube

Engineered exclusively for two-wheeled vehicles, the motorcycle chemical resistance rubber automotive tube delivers reliable fluid transfer in high-vibration, space-constrained engine bays.

Product Overview


Constructed with premium EPDM rubber reinforced by a polyester fiber braid, this tube complies with SAE J200 standards for automotive rubber hoses—striking a balance between flexibility and tensile strength. Unlike generic automotive tubes, it is optimized for motorcycle-specific demands: the compact outer diameter (ranging from 4mm to 12mm) fits tight wiring harnesses, while the rubber compound resists swelling from gasoline, engine oil, and cleaning solvents. It is a top choice for OEMs (e.g., motorcycle manufacturers) and aftermarket service providers upgrading fuel or lubrication lines.


Product Features


Chemical Resistance: Withstands 95% gasoline, 80% engine oil, and common degreasers (e.g., citrus-based solvents) without volume expansion (>3% after 72-hour immersion)—outperforming standard natural rubber tubes (15% expansion). The EPDM compound also resists ozone degradation, extending service life in outdoor environments.

Vibration Tolerance: Endures 50Hz-200Hz vibration (typical of motorcycle engines) for 10,000+ hours without braid fraying or rubber cracking, tested per ASTM D3575. This prevents fluid leakage at connection points, a critical issue in high-vibration two-wheeler systems.

Temperature Adaptability: Operates from -40°C to 120°C, maintaining flexibility in sub-zero winter conditions to avoid cold-start cracking and retaining structural integrity near exhaust headers. It outperforms PVC tubes that become brittle below -10°C.

Dimensional Consistency: OD tolerance controlled within ±0.1mm, ensuring a tight fit with standard motorcycle fittings (e.g., 6AN, 8AN) and eliminating seepage. The inner diameter (ID) consistency (<0.05mm variation) maintains stable fuel flow, optimizing engine performance.


Applications


Motorcycle fuel delivery systems (compatible with gasoline, E10, and E20 ethanol blends).

Scooter and moped lubrication lines (transmitting engine oil to crankshafts).

Off-road motorcycle coolant hoses (resisting mud and chemical exposure).

Vintage motorcycle restoration projects (matching original equipment specifications).


FAQ


Is it compatible with ethanol-blended fuels?

Yes, it safely handles ethanol blends up to E20 (20% ethanol, 80% gasoline) without material degradation. For higher ethanol concentrations (e.g., E85), contact the manufacturer for a specialized EPDM formulation—standard versions may experience gradual swelling with E85 over 2+ years of use.


Can it replace OEM motorcycle fuel lines?

Absolutely. It matches OEM dimensional and performance specifications for most Japanese, European, and American motorcycle brands. Ensure the tube diameter (OD/ID) matches your vehicle’s requirements (e.g., 6mm OD for Honda CB series, 8mm OD for Harley-Davidson Sportster) and use manufacturer-recommended clamps to avoid leakage.


How to extend its service life?

Avoid direct contact with brake fluid (DOT 3/DOT 4) as it dissolves EPDM rubber. Clean the tube surface quarterly with a mild soap solution (avoid harsh solvents) and inspect for cracks or braid exposure yearly. In coastal areas, apply a UV-resistant spray every 6 months to prevent ozone-induced aging.
