Description
5/16″ Fuel Stem (Steel)
The 5/16″ fuel stem is a robust connector designed for secure hose attachment in fuel delivery systems. Manufactured from high-strength steel, it provides excellent durability and resistance to wear, making it suitable for both modern and classic vehicle applications.
Design: Straight stem with a 5/16″ outside diameter, precision-machined for compatibility with standard 5/16″ internal diameter fuel hoses.
Material: Solid steel construction, zinc-plated to provide corrosion resistance against fuel blends, oils, and environmental exposure.
Application: Used as a hose-tail fitting in fuel, oil, or coolant systems. Compatible with carburettor, fuel pump, and filter connections where a reliable, leak-proof fit is required.
Suitable for both low- and moderate-pressure systems.
Advantages: Steel body ensures greater mechanical strength than brass or alloy alternatives. Resistant to deformation during installation and long-term use. Provides a secure grip on the hose when paired with a fuel-line clamp, minimizing leak risks.
Typical Uses: Classic car fuel lines (including SU carburettors and fuel pumps), marine engines, agricultural machinery, and custom fuel system builds.
