What are banjo lines?

What are banjo lines?

Banjo fittings got their name because they are roughly shaped like a banjo (the ones we make do not go on a string instrument). Banjo fittings are attached to the end of a fuel line with a hose barb or are brazed to the line.

What are the different types of fuel lines?

Fuel Hose Types

• Push-On Rubber hose. Low cost and easy to fit in place, this type of hose can be used on standard parts with no modification.
• Reusable / Cutter / Compression type hose.
• PFTE / Teflon type hose.
• Alloy Hardline.
• In Tank Hose.
• Fuel Tank.
• Fuel Pump.
• Filter / Swirl Pot / Fuel Rail.

What size are most fuel lines?

Typically, these 1/4″ and 5/16″ line sizes are in use for low flow or OEM systems, but are commonly used in high performance applications for pressure gauges as well as plumbing between the Regulator and Intake Manifold.

Can you reuse banjo bolts?

The bolts are good. You can reuse copper crush washers by annealing them. Aluminum ones tend to leak.

Do banjo bolt holes need to line up?

Those seals allow fluid to pass around the bolt, which means the holes do not need to line up unlike a standard threaded fitting, making installation of flexible lines easy (and in many cases, even possible in the first place.) Here you can see some banjo bolts and their sealing crush washers.

Can you solder gas lines?

In no case should solder or “soft-solder” be used to join copper tube and fittings in fuel gas systems.

What is the best type of fuel line?

The best solution is a material called PTFE. That stands for polytetrafluoroethylene—a plastic material that is best known as Teflon in one specific variation. This material is impervious to the degenerative effects of fuel that also creates a vapor barrier so fuel vapors cannot leak past.

Can you gas line copper tubing?

When both outlets are in line, this provides flexibility to shorten or lengthen the tubing. Copper tubing makes an attractive and permanent oil or fuel line and connections.

What size fuel line do I need for 1000 HP?
