Replaced diesel fuel return line with weed eater fuel hose?.

jwjsr · Apr 13, 2016

I trashed the original return line that goes from the Cav pump to the first injector and replaced it with the transparent weed eater fuel hose I had quick acces to, Anyone see a potential problem with this?

Actually it s yellow transparent and after some googling I hope it is Tyson.

I would assume it would melt like ice cream if there were a fire of any sort, Black rubber fuel line is hard to burn.

It should be fine, I have seen that
stuff burn as others said on weedwackers
and it just chars the same, might not be
as durable to impact and abrasion tho. I
would order proper stuff next time you
get parts but wouldn't be afraid in the
time being

If it's not rated for diesel fuel, the diesel fuel itself will eat it up sooner or lTER!

I put some clear tygon on the diesel return lines on my Kubota 2 years ago, no problems so far.

About 15 years ago the return line on my JD 4430 started leaking.
Deere wanted over $100 for a new line. I made my own with yellow
Tygon fuel tubing. It is still working today.

3/16 fuel line works well and is available anywhere NO reason not to change it!

Tygon is fuel line, just a different type. It is intended for fuel oil, lubricating oil and such so not as issue
