2、AMIDE COVER, FEP INNER WSS-M98D33-A8 TUBE, CONDUCTIVE, LOW PERMEATING FUEL LINE NOT TO BE USED FOR NEW DESIGN 1. SCOPE These specifications define multilayered fuel and vapor lines comprised of a heat, hydrocarbon, water, and chloride resistant outer cover of polyamide or alloyed polyamide or equiva

3、lent material. The cover is well adhered to a low fuel permeability and fuel/alcohol blend resistant inner tube such as conductive or non-conductive fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) or equivalent material. This construction is sufficiently flexible for ease of forming, assembly, and routing, and

4、 is resistant to kinking. 2. APPLICATIONS These specifications were released originally for electrically conductive supply and return liquid carrying fuel lines (WSS-M96D33-A8) where low permeation is required in light truck and passenger car applications. The maximum working pressure is 1000 kPa at

5、 23 C. This tubing is designed to be used through a temperature range of -40 to +125 C with sustained operation at 125 C for 1000 hours and intermittent temperature excursions up to 150 C for 50 hours. This fuel line will meet the requirements for both reformulated and flexible fuels. Liquid fuel ca
