Product Features
The FuelFLEX™ 65 product line is made in America especially for use with petroleum based products. Its distinct translucent yellow color identifies it as a fuel line, but also allows the user to monitor flow. The special PVC formulation uses a specific plasticizer that will not crack or dry out like other PVC compounds will in the presence of petroleum based products. This formulation also boasts a higher resistance to ethanol and a longer shelf life than traditional fuel formulations.
