The Honestflex Tank Truck Oil Hose is designed for transferring petroleum fuels during tank truck loading, unloading, and bulk liquid handling operations. Its hardwall rubber construction combines an oil-resistant NBR inner tube, high-strength synthetic fabric, and steel wire helix reinforcement to support both suction and discharge service.
With a nominal working pressure of 10 bar (150 PSI), the hose is available in sizes from 2 to 6 inches. It is designed for suitable petroleum fuels containing up to 50% aromatic hydrocarbons, subject to confirmation of the specific fuel composition.
The hose can be supplied with smooth or corrugated outer covers, offering options for different handling and routing requirements.
Tank truck oil hoses connect compatible transfer pumps, tankers, storage systems, and loading or unloading equipment. They are primarily selected for bulk petroleum handling where oil resistance, suction capability, and reliable hose assembly connections are required.
Used to transfer gasoline, diesel, and other compatible petroleum fuels between road tankers and storage facilities.
The reinforced hose construction supports suction and discharge operations, making it suitable for appropriately designed tanker loading and unloading systems.
At petroleum storage facilities, tank truck hoses provide flexible connections between compatible pumping equipment, tanks, and transfer lines.
The oil-resistant rubber construction and available larger diameters support bulk fuel handling requirements.
The hose can be used in fuel distribution applications involving tanker vehicles, industrial fuel storage systems, and approved petroleum transfer equipment.
Hose size, fuel compatibility, pressure rating, and electrical continuity requirements should be verified for each installation.
Unlike a hose intended only for positive-pressure delivery, a tank truck suction and discharge hose incorporates reinforcement to resist deformation during suction operations.
The black, smooth nitrile rubber inner tube is designed for compatible petroleum products. NBR offers oil resistance for specified fuel-handling applications.
High-strength synthetic fabric provides reinforcement, while the embedded steel wire helix helps maintain the hose shape during suction and handling.
The allowable vacuum level must be confirmed against the specific hose rating before installation.
The hose incorporates an anti-static wire intended for use as part of an appropriately designed electrical bonding system.
For flammable fuel transfer, electrical continuity, hose assembly design, bonding, and grounding requirements must be verified in accordance with applicable operating procedures and standards.
The outer cover is available in black or red, with smooth or corrugated finishes. It is designed to resist oil, fuel exposure, weathering, and abrasion under specified operating conditions.
A corrugated cover may be selected where improved handling flexibility is required, while a smooth cover provides an alternative surface configuration.
The Honestflex tank truck oil hose is available in six standard nominal inside diameters, from 2 inches to 6 inches.
Inside Diameter (inch) | I.D. (mm) | O.D. (mm) | Working Pressure (bar / PSI) | Bend Radius (mm) | Weight (kg/m) | Listed Length (m / ft) |

Note: The dimensions and lengths above are based on the Honestflex catalog. Confirm current manufacturing lengths, permissible vacuum rating, fuel compatibility, and assembled hose specifications before ordering. The listed 10 bar / 150 PSI values are nominal catalog pressure ratings.
A suitable tank truck oil hose must be selected according to the fluid, operating conditions, installation layout, and transfer equipment.
Selection Factor | What to Check |
|---|---|
Fuel Type | Gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, or other specified petroleum products |
Hose Diameter | Required flow rate and compatibility with transfer equipment |
Working Pressure | Maximum discharge pressure and possible pressure surges |
Vacuum Requirement | Expected suction vacuum and verified hose vacuum rating |
Bend Radius | Required routing space and minimum permitted bend radius |
Electrical Continuity | Bonding and grounding requirements for flammable liquids |
End Connections | Compatibility with tanker and terminal connections |
Honestflex provides six standard sizes from 2 to 6 inches. Smaller sizes can be considered for transfer systems with lower flow requirements, while larger diameters may be appropriate for higher-flow installations.
The correct diameter depends on the required flow rate, pressure losses, pump characteristics, and connection sizes. It should not be selected by tanker capacity alone.
Fuel compatibility and electrical safety are important when specifying a hose for petroleum transfer.
Petroleum Fuel Compatibility
The Honestflex tank truck oil hose is designed for specified petroleum fuels with aromatic content up to 50%. Actual compatibility depends on the fuel formulation, temperature, and operating conditions.
Alternative fuels, alcohol blends, biodiesel mixtures, aviation fuels, and chemical liquids should not be assumed compatible without manufacturer confirmation.
Suction and Vacuum Conditions
The wire-helix construction supports suction service, but the maximum allowable vacuum must be confirmed for the specific hose. Avoid using an unverified hose under full-vacuum conditions.
Electrical Bonding and Inspection
For flammable fuel applications, verify that the complete hose assembly meets the applicable electrical continuity and bonding requirements.
Before each transfer operation, inspect the hose and fittings for damage, leakage, deformation, and deterioration. Follow the site's approved fuel-handling procedures.
A tank truck oil hose is used to transfer compatible petroleum fuels between tank trucks, storage tanks, and transfer equipment. It is designed for loading, unloading, and other industrial fuel-handling operations.
The hose has a nominal working pressure of 10 bar (150 PSI) across the listed sizes. The complete hose assembly must be rated for the intended system pressure.
Yes. The Honestflex tank truck hose uses fabric reinforcement and a steel wire helix to support suction and discharge applications. The specific maximum vacuum rating should be confirmed before use.
A tank truck oil hose is designed for bulk fuel transfer and incorporates reinforcement for specified suction and discharge conditions. A fuel delivery hose may be designed primarily for positive-pressure delivery. Actual suitability depends on the individual hose construction and ratings.
The hose is designed for compatible petroleum fuels, including specified gasoline and diesel applications. The exact fuel formulation, aromatic content, additives, and operating temperature must be verified before use.
Please provide the required inside diameter, working pressure, suction requirements, fuel type, hose length, end connection specifications, quantity, and destination country.
If electrical continuity requirements or supporting test documentation are necessary, include these details in your inquiry.
