“Barricade™ hose is the lowest permeation, multi-fuel compatible hose on the market today,” said Senior Product Manager Richard Mirtz. “Our patent-pending Greenshield™ Barrier Technology allows Barricade™ to exceed stringent California Air Resource Board (CARB), EPA and other state and federal requirements, making it the most environmentally responsible fuel line hose in the industry. Plus, with an average annual fuel savings of approximately one gallon per vehicle, Barricade™ hose can dramatically reduce the amount of gasoline consumed by U.S. motorists.”
Hydrocarbon vapors escape or permeate into the atmosphere through the body of fuel line hoses as gasoline or diesel fuel is conveyed through the system from the fuel tank to the engine. Gates built-in Five-layer Greenshield Barrier Technology enables Barricade hose to achieve five times less fuel vapor permeation (1gr/m2) and fuel waste than conventional hoses. In addition, unlike standard fuel line hoses, Barricade hose can accommodate more fuel types, including gasohol, diesel, bio-diesel, ethanol, gasoline and methanol.
Gates Barricade Fuel Line Hose is available at local parts stores throughout the US.
