-8AN 150ft PTFE Stainles Steel Braided Flex Hose

The -8AN 150ft PTFE Stainless Steel Braided Flex Hose by Vibrant Performance is engineered for high-performance fuel, coolant, and fluid transfer systems in modified and racing vehicles. Designed for enthusiasts who demand reliability in aggressive engine builds, this hose handles the demands of forced induction, fuel injection upgrades, and custom cooling loops where standard rubber hose fails. Whether you're building a turbocharged street car, competition drag platform, or complex cooling system, this hose delivers the durability and safety critical to modern automotive modifications.

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) core construction resists swelling, degradation, and permeation from ethanol blends, nitromethane, and aggressive coolants that compromise traditional rubber hose over time. The -8AN fitting size (1/2-inch nominal) accommodates substantial flow rates for high-volume fuel systems and large-displacement cooling circuits without excessive pressure drop. Stainless steel braiding provides abrasion resistance, UV protection, and structural integrity under vibration and thermal cycling—critical in engine bays where hose routing passes sharp edges or moving components. The 150-foot bulk length allows custom fabrication and installation across multiple vehicle systems without splice joints that introduce failure points and restrict flow.

Mechanics and fabricators working on fuel system upgrades, turbo builds, and custom cooling systems benefit from cutting this hose to exact lengths and forming custom routing without waste. The combination of PTFE and stainless steel braiding makes it compatible with methanol, E85, pump gas, and racing fuels—ideal when transitioning between fuel types during tuning and testing phases. Installation requires appropriate -8AN hose fittings (sold separately) and proper crimp tooling or compression ends; professional-grade assembly ensures leak-free connections under full operating pressure. This product suits road course competitors, drag racers, street performance builders, and anyone standardizing their fluid systems to withstand modified engine power and thermal stress.
