SAE J30 R9 Fuel Injection Hose – FKM, Aramid Reinforced, 6 / 8 / 9.5 mm

SAE J30 R9 fuel injection hose for petrol (gasoline), including E10, E20 and E85, diesel and biodiesel in internal combustion engine fuel systems.

The hose features a fuel-resistant FKM fluoroelastomer inner layer and aramid reinforcement. Its SAE J30 R9 construction provides low fuel permeation, excellent resistance to modern fuels and good performance at elevated temperatures.

In stock: 6 mm (1/4″), 8 mm (5/16″) and 9.5 mm (3/8″) inside diameters.

Applications

The hose is suitable for:

  • petrol / gasoline;
  • E10, E20 and E85 ethanol-containing petrol blends;
  • diesel;
  • biodiesel;
  • fuel supply and fuel injection systems in internal combustion engines.

Always follow the hose specification required by the vehicle, engine or equipment manufacturer.

Why choose SAE J30 R9?

SAE J30 R9 fuel hoses are designed for more demanding fuel systems, particularly fuel injection systems, where low permeation of fuel and fuel vapours through the hose wall is important.

The FKM inner layer of this AGOMA® hose provides excellent chemical resistance to fuels, while the aramid reinforcement gives the hose mechanical strength and dimensional stability.

Fuel permeation is limited to ≤ 15 g/m²/24 h.

Construction

Tube / inner layer: FKM fluoroelastomer
Intermediate layer: ECO
Reinforcement: aramid yarn
Cover / outer layer: ECO

The FKM inner layer is in direct contact with the fuel, while the ECO outer layer provides good resistance to heat, ozone and environmental exposure.

All three AGOMA® stock sizes – 6 mm, 8 mm and 9.5 mm – are aramid reinforced.

Available sizes

Inside diameter Outside diameter Nominal inch size
6.0 mm 12.0 mm 1/4″
8.0 mm 14.4 mm 5/16″
9.5 mm 16.5 mm 3/8″

All three sizes are available from AGOMA® stock.

Ethanol-resistant fuel hose for E10, E20 and E85

Ethanol-containing petrol places higher demands on elastomeric components in fuel systems. Older fuel hoses that were not designed for modern fuels may harden, swell, crack or become more permeable to fuel and fuel vapours over time.

This SAE J30 R9 fuel hose is suitable for E10, E20 and E85 petrol blends, as well as diesel and biodiesel.

Its FKM inner layer and low fuel permeation make it a suitable choice for modern fuel systems where an SAE J30 R9 specification is required.

This is also particularly relevant when upgrading the fuel systems of classic and older vehicles for use with modern ethanol-containing fuels.

Where is SAE J30 R9 fuel hose used?

SAE J30 R9 fuel injection hose is used in various mobile and stationary internal combustion engine applications, including:

  • passenger cars;
  • motorcycles;
  • classic and restored vehicles;
  • trucks and commercial vehicles;
  • agricultural machinery;
  • construction equipment;
  • generators and other stationary engines.

The hose used in any specific application must comply with the requirements specified by the vehicle or equipment manufacturer.

SAE J30 R9 fuel hose for motorcycles

6 mm and 8 mm SAE J30 R9 fuel hoses are commonly used in motorcycle fuel systems.

R9-type hoses are used in motorcycle fuel lines where a flexible hose with good fuel and temperature resistance and low fuel permeation is required.

They may be used both when servicing modern fuel-injected motorcycles and when upgrading fuel hoses on older motorcycles, provided that SAE J30 R9 meets the motorcycle manufacturer’s requirements.

SAE J30 R9 or a standard fuel hose?

Not every fuel system requires an SAE J30 R9 hose.

For less demanding fuel applications, SAE J30 R6 or SAE J30 R7 fuel hoses may provide a more economical solution.

SAE J30 R9 is particularly suitable when you need:

  • low fuel and fuel-vapour permeation;
  • an FKM inner layer;
  • resistance to modern fuels;
  • compatibility with E10, E20 and E85 according to the hose specification;
  • higher temperature resistance;
  • aramid reinforcement;
  • or when SAE J30 R9 is specifically required by the vehicle or equipment manufacturer.

Can SAE J30 R9 be used inside a fuel tank?

No. This SAE J30 R9 hose is not designed for continuous immersion in fuel.

Inside a fuel tank, fuel comes into contact with both the inner and outer surfaces of the hose. For this type of application, use a specially designed SAE J30 R10 submersible fuel hose.

For an in-tank fuel pump or other submerged fuel line, choose AGOMA® SAE J30 R10.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SAE J30 R9 and SAE J30 R6 or R7?

SAE J30 R9 is a low-permeation fuel hose intended for more demanding fuel systems and fuel injection applications. This AGOMA® R9 hose has an FKM inner layer and aramid reinforcement.

R6 and R7 hoses are often a more economical solution for less demanding fuel applications.

Is SAE J30 R9 suitable for fuel injection systems?

Yes. SAE J30 R9 is a fuel hose specification used for fuel injection systems. Always follow the specification required by the vehicle or equipment manufacturer.
