What is PTFE braided hose?

An AN6 hose with a PTFE inner tube inside a stainless steel braid, available with a bare stainless finish or a black nylon cover. PTFE is chemically inert and essentially impermeable, which makes it the choice for aggressive fuels and for anywhere permeation through the hose wall is a problem.

When do I need PTFE rather than rubber-lined?

For E85, methanol and race fuels, for high-pressure fuel injection systems, and where fuel smell through the hose wall is unacceptable - PTFE does not permeate the way rubber does. It is also the better choice for long-term storage, since it does not degrade with age or ethanol content.

Bare stainless or black nylon covered?

Bare stainless braid gives maximum abrasion protection - but it is abrasive itself and will saw through anything it rests against. The black nylon cover protects surrounding components and is far kinder on your hands, at a slight cost in ultimate abrasion resistance. Most road builds prefer the covered version.

What fittings does it take?

Standard AN6 hose ends. PTFE hose needs fittings designed specifically for PTFE - the olive and collet arrangement differs from rubber-lined AN hose, and using the wrong ends is a common and expensive mistake. Check that your fittings are PTFE-specific before assembling.

How do I cut it?

Wrap the cut area tightly in tape, cut through the tape with a sharp cut-off wheel or proper hose shears, then remove the tape. That stops the braid fraying and unravelling. Take care not to crush or distort the PTFE liner as you cut - a deformed liner will not seal in the fitting.

Is it more rigid than rubber hose?

Yes, noticeably. PTFE has a larger minimum bend radius and does not flex as freely, so it needs to be routed with gentler sweeps and planned more carefully. Do not try to force it round a tight corner near a fitting - use an angled hose end instead.
