ID=.295 OD=.560 Markings on hose: 5/16 FUEL 18519 11 55 B 5/16 FUEL EFM-EFI I have taken this hose to over 350 psi without it bursting. I was trying to set up a distructive burst test fixture for one of our filters. At 350 psi the filter looked like a football but didn't rupture, and neither did the hose. A hose clamp failed. Our customers spec. is that it should hold to 250 psi for 1 minute, so I quit the test. Russ Wolfe russ_wolfe@MAHLEParr.com Mahle Parr Filter Systems 505 E.
