The query that i sent to Gates.
I went to get some submersible EFI T10 hose from my local supplier and was told there was now something better T14. When I got home I couldn’t see any markings on the hose stating submersible, so I rang them. I was told it was rated to 225 PSI and that it was purchased from Gates as submersible EFI hose. I posted on an online forum that there was now a better hose than the previous T10. I then received a query from the US as to where it was rated as submersible. I would greatly appreciate your help in clarifying this matter.
Regards Martin.

Hi Martin,
I have spoke to our Technical Team and the only information they have is as below;

If your in-tank applications and fuel systems cause your hoses to be in constant contact with gasoline or other fuel fluids, you need the Gates Submersible Fuel Hose. Most fuel lines are only designed to handle fuel on the interior of the hose, which can be damaged if the exterior is exposed to fuel. Gates Submersible Fuel Line Hose is capable of handling multiple types of gasoline and fuels, including gasoline, alcohol-extended gasoline, ethanols, biodiesel or diesel fuel in fully-immersed, mobile and stationary applications. Engineered for fully submersible use, these hoses are excellent for use on gas tank fuel pumps.
