Fuel Line and Evap Disconnect Pliers - Lisle 37160

Product Information

A fuel hose is a flexible tube designed to transport fuel from one component of the fuel system to another, such as from the fuel tank to the fuel pump or from the pump to the engine. Made of rubber, synthetic materials, metal pipes, or reinforced rubber, fuel hoses are built to withstand the pressure, temperature, and chemical exposure that comes with handling fuel. Fuel hoses are essential to the proper functioning of the fuel delivery system and the overall performance of the engine.

• Fuel Leaks: The most obvious and dangerous sign of a failing fuel hose is a fuel leak. Leaking fuel not only causes performance issues but also poses a significant fire hazard.
• Fuel Pressure Loss: A damaged or leaking fuel hose can cause a drop in fuel pressure, leading to inconsistent fuel delivery to the engine. This may result in hesitation during acceleration, poor fuel economy, or misfires.
• Decreased Fuel Efficiency: Leaking fuel due to a compromised hose can cause fuel wastage, which will reduce your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

About Lisle

Founded in 1903, C.A. Lisle started the company with the first product being horse-powered water well drilling machines. On the off season to the well drilling business, they manufactured washing machines, cream separators, and push-type reel lawn mowers. In the mid-20s, Lisle Corporation made its first automotive product, a master ignition vibrator for Ford Model T vehicles. The first Lisle tool, a valve refacer, fast became a repair shop must since valves were reground every 20,000 miles at that time. In the 1930's they also manufactured magnetic oil drain plugs that were used in WWII for military equipment resulting in the Army/Navy E Award for manufacturing excellence in supporting the war effort. In the 1950's after the war, the automotive aftermarket boomed and demand for specialty automotive tools increased. It was then that the Lisle Corporation made the decision to grow the company by introducing new tools that could be made in the company's own factory, thereby controlling quality, delivery and costs. Today the company's tool line consists of more than 400 products of which most are produced at the original location, now expanded, in Clarinda, Iowa.
