May I use an inflator hose for gasoline?

[Tracy]

Mine uses a 3/8 hose and quick connect on each end with a primer bulb in the middle. It really isn't much larger than a BC hose and was made for the application. What are you currently using?

What about an AirII Occto Inflator hose CEJN???

Not sure why a compact fuel disconnect is really needed.
sound like you have lots of hose length

Bcd and CEJN quick connect only self seal the hose on one direction. Outboard motor connect. seals fuel in both directions.

If you got a bcd end that goes to a NPT thread instead of a crimped end I think that could work. The shader seals seem to be a teflon or something like that.
Anything with an exposed normal rubber oring
Especially with gas. Will crack the oring over time exposed, especially with UV

You could just put an inline valve on the fuel tank side. And pull the hose on and off the barb.. kind like a motorcycle carb.

This was first setting:
Fuel filter missing.
Bulky connector

I wanted to add a fuel filter, this takes place away, so I prefere a less bulky connector. That's why I was thinking about inflator hose.

All fuel filers I found gave a bulky construction again as nippel was not included. So I decided to make a compromise:
- I produced a small filter with nippel included.
- I will use an inflator connector but this will be in the existing fuel hose
- I found a shradder valve which is definitely sealed by nitrile parts, not EPDM or anything else. Nitrile is perfectly gasoline resistant.

Inflator coupling is small, so is inflator nippel. I can close the coupling by one single hand, I like that.

Inside the filter housing is a sintered filter.

I will have to attach the filter housing to the aluminium base, it is not finished yet.

Again, is the sealing gasoline resistant? I don't know.

1) Tank comes off for transport.
2) Yes, but sealing in hose only is OK for this application.
3) No, it is Nitrile oder EPDM. Nitrile is fine for gasoline. Inside the coupling the shradder never ever gets any UV.

Does the tank just sit there? Seems it would rattle off.​

Don't let dirt or water in the open nipple when transporting​

No, orange belts are going around the frame, holding tank on place.
Yes I will add a nipple cover.

I had problems finding a schrader valve which is gasoline resistant. The first one (I mentioned) is not available anymore. I finally found HANSA Ventileinsatz "Typ Schrader" 53bar 150°C grün VE 2776953050 Sealings are PTFE and HNBR, both perfectly gasoline resistant. Now everything should work.
