Fuel Hose

[Sg Fazerian]

Hey Guys

My fuel hose burst and I replaced it with a aftermarket one.

But after replacement, the 'feeling' is not the same. Dragging seems rough and not smooth as before.

So my question is, does using aftermarket fuel hose affect performance?

As long as the inner diameter is the same and the fittings aren't restrictive, there should be no difference.

If the new one flows less volume, then you might get fuel starvation.

Now that you mentioned about less fuel flow, it could be about the diameter of the fuel hose. Was in a hurry that day, I just told the mech to fix whatever fuel hose that he had.

So what's the size of the diameter or should I change back to stock?
