Features and Benefits

N/A

  • Biofuel Compatible - Revolutionary polyurethane compound! Specially designed to handle gasoline, ethanol (up to E98), diesel and biodiesel (up to B100 meeting ASTM D6751 criteria)...and still keeps all the other great features and benefits!
  • Non-permeable polyurethane construction - won’t swell or become stiff like conventional TPR/rubber hoses. Long life reduces operating costs.
  • Lightweight - much lighter than conventional TPR/rubber hoses.
  • Superior flexibility - especially in sub-zero weather!
  • Reinforced tube - for liquid fuel transfer applications.
  • Embedded copper grounding wire - safely dissipates static electricity. Physically extract the copper grounding wire from the rigid helix and bond to the metal coupling (or by other means) to ground. Refer to Hose Assembly Coupling Installation Suggestions and Technical Bulletin in this catalog.
  • Static dissipating tube - for added safety.
  • Abrasion resistant helix - designed to slide easily over rough surfaces and around objects.

What are Biofuel Friendly Products

N/A The Biofuel Friendly Products logo indicates products which have compatible chemical resistance with all four types of fuels :

New alternative biofuels :

    Ethanol (up to E98)
    Biodiesel (up to B100)
And traditional petroleum-based fuels :
    Gasoline
    Biodiesel
Applies to biodiesels which meet ASTM D6751 criteria.

The absence of the Biofuel Friendly Products logo by products in this catalog indicates those products are chemically compatible with traditional petroleum based fuels or oils, but not necessarily chemically compatible with the higher percentage blends of the new alternative biofuels. Refer to the Chemical Resistance Chart near the back of this catalog for more information by product series.
    Changing Fuels Create Challenges
As we look to reduce our dependence on foreign petroleum based fuels, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the use of alternative biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel continues to grow. This creates challenges in the fuel industry, as many existing petroleum transfer products were not designed with these alternative biofuels in mind.

That’s why Kuriyama is proud to introduce Biofuel Friendly Products,a complete package of revolutionary fuel transfer hoses, couplings and accessories. Biofuel Friendly Products are specially engineered to resist the added strain caused by the ever-widening market use of the new high-percentage blends of biofuels - ethanol and biodiesel - while maintaining superior reliability transferring traditional petroleum based fuels - gasoline and diesel.

Look for the Biofuel Friendly Products logo. Whenever you see it you can be confident that you are providing the best fuel transfer solutions!
