First of all it is not a high pressure hose.

Main problem is heat because it is close to the Turbo.

Best rubber for heat is Viton.

Search on ebay for : Viton Hose 5mm or 3/16


The fuel tubing is made by 100% viton A material.


Size: 3/16" ID 5/16" OD

5mm ID 8mm OD

Tolerance: +/- 0.5mm
Hardness: 75 shore A

Max temperature: more than 260℃ or 500°F

Resistance to fuel/oil/diesel: Excellent
Resistance to 100% biodiesel: Excellent
Resistance to corrotive Chemcial, Acid. Ozone and UV resistance

Go to your local hydraulic shop and ask for high temp hose in that size. You do not want high pressure for two other reasons. They do not bend well and they are nearly impossible to tighten. The construction that makes them so strong will never allow a hose clamp to tighten them. The pressure on this hose is at max only 60-65 pounds. Look for something that will handle 500F temps.
