#16 Hose 3'

The AEROQUIP #16 Hose 3' is a professional-grade braided stainless steel and rubber fuel line designed for high-performance automotive applications, racing systems, and custom fuel delivery setups. Built for mechanics and enthusiasts who demand reliability under demanding conditions, this 3-foot hose assembly meets the rigorous standards required in competition motorsports and modified engine builds. Whether you're upgrading a fuel system for increased horsepower, installing a fuel cell, or refurbishing a high-performance engine bay, this hose provides the dependable flow and pressure integrity that separates amateur installations from professional-caliber work.

This hose features a 16 AN thread size connection, enabling secure attachment to fuel pumps, regulators, carburetors, and fuel rails with minimal leak risk. The dual-layer construction—stainless steel braiding wrapped around an inner rubber core—resists abrasion, vibration damage, and pressure spikes that typically occur in racing or boosted applications. The natural (unpainted) stainless outer braid is visible throughout the engine bay, offering both functional protection and the aesthetic appeal common in show-quality builds. At 3 feet in length, this hose provides versatile routing flexibility for mid-engine conversions, fuel cell relocations, and custom plumbing layouts without requiring splicing or multiple segments.

Professional mechanics rely on AEROQUIP racing hose for turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated engine builds where fuel delivery consistency is non-negotiable. This hose is ideal for swap projects, fuel system upgrades, and competition vehicles where OEM hose cannot handle elevated pressures or aggressive routing demands. Installation pairs seamlessly with AN-fitted fuel system components—the industry standard in motorsports—ensuring compatibility across fuel pump assemblies, regulator manifolds, and injector rails. The lightweight 1.94-pound hose minimizes parasitic weight while withstanding the thermal and pressure cycles endemic to performance driving.
