Good source for auxiliary fuel hose & fittings?

You can use JIC hyd hose. Surplus center has cheap hoses that i have used in actual hydraulic systems so i think there up to the task of this.

A parker dealer is prob going to charge you as much for one fitting as the whole hose on surplus center.

I would say thats downright affordable: http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydrau...ydraulic-Hose-Assembly-5800-PSI-921-22144.axd

I think JIC-5 fitting is same as a 5/16 JIC: the size of the aux fuel connection on the MEP-803/802 generators. I could not find that size on surpluscenter.com.

For those not familiar with the standards and their differences, here are some handy references on JIC and AN fittings. They both have tables and dimensional sizes.

JIC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIC_fitting

AN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN_thread

Does anybody have a better copy of the PDF featured in this post? I can't read it.

Thanks!!

Howdy,

Of course there is a sticky at the top of the auxiliary section.

sticky: Generator AUX fuel connections

There is even a PDF with the 37.5 degree hose end information for getting a custom hose made.

Leave it to the military to use a size no one else uses or stocks. My hose does have -5 AN fittings.

Its just a hose brother. Adapt it to -6 and never have to worry about it again.

Howdy,

The hose blue print could be printed and taken to a hose maker. He would know exactly what is needed by looking at what is written. That is there territory.
