2、33-A9 TUBE, NON-CONDUCTIVE, LOW PERMEATING FUEL VAPOR LINE 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 equivalent material. The cover is well adhered to a low f

3、uel permeability and fuel/alcohol blend resistant inner tube such as conductive or non-conductive polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or equivalent material. This construction is sufficiently flexible for ease of forming, assembly, and routing, and is resistant to kinking. 2. APPLICATIONS These specifica

4、tions were released originally for electrically non-conductive fuel vapor and electrically conductive supply and return liquid carrying fuel lines utilized in engine jumpers, crossover lines, and tank jumper fuel and vapor lines for passenger car and light truck applications where low permeation is

5、required. This tubing is designed to be used through a temperature range of - 40 to + 140 degrees with a sustained half-life operation defined as loss of 50% physical properties of 120 C for 1500 hours and intermittent temperature excursions up to 140 C for 150 hours. This fuel line will meet the re

6、quirements for both reformulated and flexible fuels. Note: The construction and performance properties of the WSS-M98D33-A9 and A10 are essentially the same except for inner tube electrical conductivity in the A10. Liquid fuel carrying applications must use the A10. Certain applications may have ele

7、vated temperature excursions if the functionality of the part is not compromised by operation in an environment where there is a loss of more than 50 % of the physical properties. 2.1 LIMITATIONS The requirements listed in this specification represent values based on vehicle operating conditions tha

8、t do not exceed 0.6 MPa fuel pressure. If the fuel system is expected to exceed this pressure the construction is not appropriate for the application. 3.
