  • 2. Diameter and Length Pump suction hoses come in various diameters and lengths. The diameter of the hose should match the pump intake to prevent restrictions that can impair the pump's efficiency. Similarly, the length of the hose should be kept to a minimum to reduce friction losses and maintain optimal suction performance.


  • Length and diameter are also important specifications. Hoses must fit correctly in order to maintain proper fuel pressure and flow. A hose that’s too long may create bends that restrict fuel flow, while a hose that’s too short could lead to stress and potential rupture. Always refer to your vehicle’s service manual for the recommended specifications.
