Wabco 4527130040 Coiled Fuel Line

Description

The Coiled Fuel Line is a critical component within air brake systems, designed to reliably deliver pressurized air to various actuators. It's commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles, trailers, and buses to ensure proper brake function. Manufactured by Wabco under MPN 4527130040, this coiled tube provides a flexible yet durable connection, resisting kinks and vibrations inherent in vehicle operation. Its dimensions are 78 x 187 x 571 mm. This design maximizes flow while minimizing space requirements and offering improved system reliability.

Key Features & Benefits

This line basically delivers fuel from the tank to the engine. It’s designed with a coiled, or spiral, construction. This isn't just for looks. It allows the line to be flexible enough to move with the engine and chassis, while still holding up to the pressure of the fuel system. It's made to handle gasoline, diesel, or whatever fuel your vehicle uses, and it's built to resist cracking or leaking over time. Think of it as a vital artery in your vehicle's fuel system. Without a good fuel line, the engine simply won’t get the fuel it needs to run. It connects directly to the fuel tank and the engine's fuel rail or carburetor, providing a consistent and reliable fuel supply. It's part of the larger air brake system, so it needs to be in good shape for everything to work safely and efficiently.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

A failing fuel line can cause a lot of headaches. You’ll notice if it starts to leak – you’ll smell fuel, and you might even see wet spots. More subtly, a line that’s starting to deteriorate can restrict fuel flow, causing poor engine performance, rough idling, or even stalling. It acts like a shield against fuel leaking, so a small crack can quickly become a big problem. It's a safety issue and impacts how your vehicle runs. You can find these pretty readily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and replacing it before it fails completely is always the smart move. It’s one of those parts where preventative maintenance saves you a lot of trouble down the road.
