This report discusses the preparation of fuel resistant fuel hoses that are serviceable at temperatures as low as -70 F. The hoses were made from a phosphonitrilic fluoroelastomer with the tube sections extruded. Work directed toward attainment of extrudable compounds, the hose building procedure and laboratory evaluations of the hoses are also described in the report. (Author)
