EVIL ENERGY 8AN Braided Fuel Line Nylon CPE 10FT - High Pressure

In this review the EVIL ENERGY 8AN Fuel Line is judged as a practical, heavy-duty replacement hose for anyone needing a durable, high-pressure fuel or fluid line. The single biggest reason to choose it is its construction: a CPE rubber inner core reinforced with 304 steel wire and a nylon outer braid that delivers a quoted maximum working pressure of 750psi and a wide temperature range, making it suitable for many under-hood and race applications.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure: Rated to 750psi with a 2250psi burst, this hose offers strong resistance to pressure spikes and sustained loads.
• Layered construction: The CPE rubber inner plus 304 steel wire and nylon braid provide abrasion resistance and longevity in harsh engine bay environments.
• Wide chemical compatibility: Compatible with transmission fluid, oil, race gas, diesel and hydraulic fluids so it can be used across several systems.
• Versatile uses: Sized and built for fuel supply, fuel return, oil feed, coolant lines, turbo cooler lines and vacuum or gauge lines in vehicles.
• Dimensional fit: At 0.437 in ID, 0.64 in OD and 10 ft length, it covers many AN8 swivel hose end installations and offers enough length for longer runs.

Who It's For

This hose is aimed at home mechanics, racers and installers who need a robust, reusable 8AN line for fuel, oil or transmission cooler plumbing. The braided outer and steel reinforcement suit projects where abrasion resistance and pressure capacity matter, such as boosted engines, aftermarket fuel systems and oil cooler reroutes.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing OEM-specific soft lines with fittings pre-attached or anyone requiring PTFE/Teflon inner hoses for extreme chemical compatibility. Also, installers who want integrated fittings rather than a raw hose for use with 8AN swivel ends may prefer pre-assembled hose assemblies.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High working and burst pressures provide confidence under load and in race conditions.
• Solid material build-CPE inner, 304 wire braid and nylon jacket-adds abrasion and heat resistance.
• Broad fluid compatibility makes it useful across fuel, oil and coolant systems.
• Ten feet of hose gives flexibility for routing and longer runs without splices.

Cons

• Some users report the material can become stiffer or brittle over long-term exposure, so inspect for age-related degradation.
• Hose is sold without fittings; it requires compatible 8AN swivel ends and proper assembly tools.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The EVIL ENERGY 8AN braided fuel line is a practical, cost-effective choice for aftermarket fuel and fluid plumbing where higher pressure tolerance and abrasion resistance are required. It is good value for DIYers and racers who will install proper 8AN fittings and inspect the hose periodically for age-related stiffness; it delivers functional versatility and reliable construction for many automotive projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this hose be used with diesel and race gas?
Yes, the hose is listed as compatible with diesel, race gas, oil and transmission fluid.

Does the hose come with fittings installed?
No, it ships as 10 ft of hose and is designed to work with 8AN swivel hose ends; fittings are purchased and installed separately.

Will it handle high under-hood temperatures?
The specified temperature range is -22F to 248F, so it is suitable for typical engine bay conditions but should be kept away from direct extreme heat sources when possible.
