#4 Startlite Hose 6'

The AEROQUIP #4 Startlite Hose 6' is a high-performance racing hose assembly engineered for critical fluid transfer applications where weight and space constraints demand precision engineering. This #4 AN (5/16-inch) hose delivers dependable flow with minimal volume loss, making it ideal for high-RPM motorsports environments, fuel system upgrades, and performance hydraulic circuits where reliability cannot be compromised.

Constructed with braided Nomex and Kevlar reinforcement, this hose combines flame resistance with exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics. The smooth bore inner tube minimizes friction and pressure drop, critical factors in racing applications where fuel pressure consistency directly impacts engine performance. The six-foot length provides configuration flexibility for mid-engine, front-mounted, or rear-mounted fuel system layouts without requiring additional adapters or splices. Black finish resists UV degradation and maintains appearance under engine bay conditions.

This Startlite racing hose specification suits fuel system builders, vintage and modern race car fabricators, and motorsports enthusiasts upgrading from standard rubber hose to performance-grade assemblies. The #4 AN size balances adequate fuel flow for naturally aspirated and turbocharged applications while fitting tight engine compartments where larger diameter hoses prove impractical. AEROQUIP's manufacturing standards ensure consistent pressure ratings and temperature resistance across repeated thermal cycling.

Racing hose selection depends on matching hose size to pump output, fuel rail configuration, and compartment geometry. The Startlite line represents AEROQUIP's racing-focused offering, distinct from their industrial hydraulic products. Verify hose routing clearance and pressure compatibility with fuel system components before installation. Each hose ships as a complete assembly, ready for connection to AN-size fittings.
