G682A Type A1 Softwall Marine Fuel Fill hose is similar to our G681A but without the wire helix. It is particularly useful in short lengths for joining filler necks to tanks where space is tight and wire reinforced hoses will not compress enough for easy installation. G682A meets SAE J1527:2022 and ISO 7840:21 for USCG Type A1 marine fuel hoses. It is also NMMA Type accepted, RINA approved, CE certified, and meets European directive 2013/53/UE.
Specifications for fuel hoses used aboard small craft have been standardized by the Marine Technical Committee of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) under their specification J1527. Hoses can be broken down into four broad groups (A1, A2, B1 & B2) according to fuel permeability and flame resistance.
Fuel Permeability:
Class 1 hoses have the greatest resistance to fuel vapours permeating through the hose itself. Therefore, in enclosed engine compartments where fuel is constantly in the hose, Class 1 hoses should always be used. Class 2 hoses exhibit less resistance to permeation, and so are intended for filler or vent hoses where fuel does not usually lie in the hose, or where there is no threat of fumes collecting in an enclosed area.
Flame Resistance:
Type A hoses have a flame resistant cover and will resist burning. Type B hoses have not been subjected to any flammability tests. Typically, fuel feed lines will be type A1, combining maximum resistance to permeation and to fire. Vent and filler neck hoses will be A2 or B2.
