Tank Truck Oil Hose 150PSI
A tank truck hose is a heavy-duty rubber fuel hose used for suction and discharge of petroleum products such as diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. It features a nitrile rubber tube, helix steel wire for vacuum resistance, and an anti-static wire for safe fuel transfer. Typical working pressure is 150 PSI.
A fuel transfer hose is a type of industrial hose used in petroleum handling systems. Tank truck hoses are classified as suction and discharge hoses. Helix wire hoses are designed for vacuum resistance applications.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 150 PSI working pressure | Reliable for standard fuel transfer systems |
| Helix wire reinforcement | Zero collapse under 0.8 bar vacuum |
| Anti-static wire | Static spark prevention (safety critical) |
| Nitrile rubber tube | Handles 50% aromatic fuels |
| Weather-resistant cover | Ozone, UV, and oil resistant |
| -32°C to +82°C range | Flexible in cold climates |
Compared to standard fuel hoses without helix wire, this petroleum transfer hose maintains full bore diameter under suction. Unlike hydraulic hoses, this diesel transfer hose is specifically formulated for petroleum compatibility and static dissipation.
Technical Specifications
Available sizes range from 2 inch to 6 inch inner diameter, with working pressure of 150 PSI and burst pressure of 450 PSI across all models.

What PSI is fuel hose rated for? This flexible fuel hose is rated for 150 PSI continuous working pressure – the industry standard for tank truck applications.
Hose Construction
- Tube: Black smooth nitrile rubber – resists swelling from diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, and light oil.
- Reinforcement: High-strength synthetic fabric + helix steel wire + anti-static wire.
- Cover: Synthetic rubber – black, blue, or red; smooth or corrugated. Oil, fuel, ozone, and abrasion resistant.
Why does a fuel hose need a helix wire? A tanker unloading hose operates under suction (vacuum). Without a helix wire, this bulk fuel hose would collapse, stopping fuel flow.
Applications – Where This Industrial Fuel Hose Is Used
- Tank truck bottom loading and unloading (primary application)
- Bulk fuel storage depots – suction from storage tanks to loading racks
- Airport refueling vehicles – hydrant dispensers and mobile fuelers
- Industrial diesel transfer – generator and furnace fuel supply
- Military logistics – field refueling systems
- Agricultural fuel transfer – diesel to tractors and harvesters
Can fuel hose handle gasoline and diesel? Yes. This gasoline transfer hose is compatible with both gasoline and diesel (up to 50% aromatic content).
How to Choose the Right Petroleum Transfer Hose
Step 1: Determine your fuel type – Standard fuels (diesel, gasoline, jet fuel): this hose works. For chemicals or high-aromatic fuels (>50%), request our chemical hose.
Step 2: Calculate required working pressure – Most tank truck systems operate at 50-125 PSI. This 150 PSI hose provides margin.
Step 3: Check vacuum requirement – If your system uses suction, you need helix reinforcement. This hose handles 0.8 bar vacuum.
Step 4: Select hose diameter – 2″ for small trucks / 3-4″ for standard tankers / 5-6″ for high-volume depots.
Step 5: Choose fittings – We supply crimped fittings, reusable fittings, adapters, and flanges.
We also supply industrial rubber hose, hydraulic hose, and complete hose fittings for fuel systems.
Tank Truck Hose vs Other Fuel Hoses
