PTFE VS AN - Steel Braided vs Nylon Hose Motion 360

On this Episode of Motion 360 Doug Talks about the differences between PTFE and AN Fittings. Doug discuses the differences between ptfe braided hose and nylon braided standard rubber style hose. Motion Raceworks carries a full stock of Fragola fittings and both steel braid and nylon braided hose for your project!

Awesome video, great tips, especially on the conductivity. I'm just using these to dress up my engine, but I haven't even considered that.

One suggestion I'd like to make that I used in the past is lint-free cloth, with alcohol. Push a bit into the line before I cut it. As far as feeding it through different areas, I made caps for the different size lines I use and push the plug and cap onto the line before running it through areas that are contaminated. Although I'm working with water, it should work for these lines as well.

Great video. I am working on a custom motorcycle oil cooler and definitely will be asking for your advise and hopefully be purchasing what I need from you. Thanks, Brian

What about for coolant lines or oil catch can lines? Ptfe? Or just regular an hose

Underneath an offroading rig for gas, I'm guessing stainless braided would be better for the abrasion resistance?

I get the nylon braided hose off Amazon, it’s the same thing you showed in the video. The biggest difference in your nylon hose and Amazon nylon hose is the price. I got 25ft for $40, I checked the motion website and it was $8.49 PER FOOT. If I spent $40 on your nylon hose I would not quite get 5ft. It would cost me $212 plus tax and shipping to get what I got on Amazon for $40. It’s proven and I use it all the time. Not sure why your prices are so high on everything but I’m sticking with what I can afford. Looks like nice parts and nice quality by prices are insane compared to others.

how can the conductive core ground through the fittings when the anodizing on the aluminum fittings is non conductive? the conductive liner in the hose only contacts anodized surfaces on the fitting, and then that fitting is most likely going to be attached to another anodized fitting before touching anything metal and chassis grounded. in other words, wouldn't the anodizing on the fittings insulate the conductive inner surface of the hose from grounding to the chassis?

After trying for so long yesterday to plumb my Motion fuel pressure reg bracket set up into my fuel rails, I was about ready to give up on cars all together. I was using PTFE hose. Have to make a hose with a 90 on one end and a 120-130ish on the other with about 2" of hose showing if that. Im looking into hard-line tools at the moment. I know it's supposed to last longer but I will replace it every 3mo before I do much more of it over rubber. I might even see what premade hoses cost.

That was the best vid on those type of hoses Iv ever seen! I’m about to replace my entire hose system on my 2015 Silverado and I’m tryn to figure it out.

What hose will you recommend for a return on a chevelle with carburetor with -6 an fittings from engine bay to fuel tank

[aussiek]

aeroquip startlite is my new favorite line. Super easy to work with and holds up to everything I've used it for

[ravijotlubana]

doesn't non conductive PTFE ground out from the olive to termination and the braided line regardless??

[ABusFullaJewz]

I have to fundamentally disagree with you on push-lock hoses. Push-lock hoses are FIA and NHRA approved, are extremely reliable, and AQP socketless hose is alcohol rated (been running it on methanol-powered late models for 6-7 years without a problem). I would argue that due to how it's basically impossible to assemble them wrong, they are far more reliable than your standard reusable braided fittings.

Crimp-style fittings on aramid braided PTFE-lined hose is still superior to all, but push-lock isn't a bad alternative. In my opinion stainless braided hose with reusable fittings has no place on a modern race car. It's fine for a street car, especially if you like the look, but there is absolutely no reason to use it on a race car. Also, the whole "conductive vs. non-conductive" hose thing is absolute marketing bullshit. It is simply not a thing, and shouldn't factor into your hose selection.

I need some assistance with finding the right fittings for my fuel system. What is the best way to get ahold of a support member?

[vjalovecom]

Looking to replace the entire fuel line in my 77 Ford Van no one has original lines for sale i came across this video can i run the nylon braided hose from Carb to fuel tank ? the van is a cruiser only Gas thanks

[kbussche]

What type of hose would you recommend for an oil relocation filter?

[SLOGOAT]

Ball valve on the fuel pump feed as well for easy filter and pump maintenance. Soooo much easier to service stuff without having to worry about draining the tank first.

[chadwarner]

Those are electrical cable cutters. Awesome information videos always thank you very much

I used autozone fuel lines on my boat motor and after the fuel sat in the lines overnight it turned brown. Then after sitting for a week in the lines the fuel was red in color. Boat did not want to start with the discolored fuel in the lines and carbs

It's funny that this video is 6 years old. 7 years ago I made my oil cooler with stainless steel nbr rubber dash lines. Guess what happened yesterday. Oil leaked all through the rubber itself. Never again, now I'm building it with ptfe with a stainless steal "middle" protection and nylon on the outside. Also I heard from a mechanic that nbr rubber hoses need to be replaced in the aviation industry every 2 years, whereas ptfe lasts forever if not mounted under stress.

[silvervspec]

Old thread… sorry, when having to replace a ptfe fitting, is it best to replace the ferrule as well or can I just slide in the new fitting into the ferrule and tighten it back down? I may have cracked the inner seat 🤦🏻‍♂️.
