Hi Tyler, I had this discussion about 30 years ago with a very smart bloke at Carac ( the go to auto parts store around here, all the rodders and modders went there) here in Dandy and he assured me it was fine to use, might not last quite as long as dedicated fuel hose but these days with all the chinese junk stuff kicking around who knows how long anything will last. Nitrile hose is fuel/oil resistant so there should be no problem. Anyway your hose will outlast any mower you put it on as long as you don't use it on a 2 stroke Victa because it might still be around in another 100 years. It might need replacing before then.
This is 8mm fuel line for the Camira - Pressurised system with hoses over the top of a hot engine and alternator
Also, it looks like the 8mm PS hose is thicker walled - as the ryco site states 8mm fuel line - but the PS hose is really thick and the clamps supplied with the z92 filter don't fit it
If it were for a mower, I wouldn't think twice - but in a pressurised system where you can't see whats happening...
They were recommended to me by a REPCO bloke. I was chasing some more fuel line for the Pope. Haven't got around to popping in, but I will be. I'll let you know what they're like if you wish?
I don't collect mowers. I just require Multiple Mowing Solutionsâ„¢.
I call then Super Costly as I frequently find better deals at their rivals. The masses continue to fall for that misnomer of a trading name. There are some gems to be had though, but not near the same levels as the early days, much like Aldi.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
Thanks Mystyler, that would be appreciated. I'll go have a look one day as its literally a 10 minute drive
MF, I always shop around for these things on sale or clearance. Repco were $22 per meter, SCA were $9. Sometimes REPCO earn their acronym - Rip Every Poor C*** Off
Got 6l of Nulon coolant concentrate for $28 today - 40% off all Nulon at SCA
I like Repco more though as my local guys bend over backwards if something goes wrong
Turns out (apparently) the guy who reckons its the same hose is a new guy who was a mechanic for 5 years and thinks he's king s***. Several guys have comeback and told him he is a d***head for selling them the wrong part
Tyler, the sales are needed just to get a fair price on their normally over priced wares sold at ripoff levels. They're all as bad as each other now, though Super Cheap is being misleading by their name.

Supercheap were very good when they started out but once the original owner sold out the prices just jumped straight up and just became another retailer selling Chinese stuff at heavily inflated prices.
They both employ stuck up young females with poor customer service and product knowledge. I went to ask a young girl a couple of things at Bunnings and her body language and disinterested tone of voice made me feel like I was approaching her at a bar to come on to her! Aussie girls are so full of themselves sometimes.

I went to return a grease gun at bunnings once as the lever that holds the plunger out would let go without notice and pop all the grease out. She and the girl next to her at the returns desk were belittling saying
"Its not defective, you aren't doing it right." I said how would you do it? She goes "its not a difficult concept, you pull this knob out, latch it in, put the cartridge in and then screw the cap..."
Bang, the latch lets go and all the grease goes straight over her
I said that its an interesting feature and that a few tins of degreaser should get that out of your hair
I usually only buy fuel hose at Clark Rubber ,every day price $8.95 a meter for 8 mm fuel hose.
Yep SUPER CRAP is what I always call that store (SCA) .
That's a funny story about the grease gun Tyler ,it reminds me of when I bought a Flymo mower from a saleswoman at a tip shop and she said the mower was only few dollars because the wheels were missing.
