Reply To: Duel line fuel hose

As far as I know there is only one manufacturer of the dual line hose in the world, and that is Saint Gobain. They manufacture all manner of tubing and much of it is for medical use. Over the past ten years of so, I’ve had four 50′ rolls, and never seen it get sticky or shiny. It comes in a cardboard box, and that’s where it’s been kept.

In light of that, I’m thinking that the stickiness/shine that you noticed is due to a chemical reaction with the storage container. Guessing that the fuel line was stored in some kind of plastic container that reacted with the rubber hose. You mentioned that could be the issue. Sounds reasonable.
