Russell Stainless Steel Fuel Line Kits Keep Civics & Integras Running Smooth

TORRANCE, Calif. (September 8, 2003) – Russell Performance, a leader in advanced fluid transfer systems, now has stainless steel fuel line kits available for compact performance cars including the Honda Civic and Acura Integra.

Specially engineered for Honda and Acura motors, these new fuel line kits come complete and ready to run. Built with Russell stainless steel braided hose and anodized aluminum hose ends, they connect the OE fuel filter to the fuel rail for maximum reliability and a professional-looking installation.

The stainless steel outer braid resists abrasion and corrosion, offering maximum protection and reliability. The CPE synthetic rubber liner with a nylon inner braid is compatible with all hydrocarbon and alcohol-based fuels, and helps give ProFlex hoses a temperature range of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to +350 degrees.

All Russell hose ends, like those included in these kits, are precision machined to ensure precise thread engagement and a tight seal.

Russell stainless steel fuel line kits are available for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic DX, LX, and EX (PN 641110) and also for the 1992-95 Honda Civic EX, 1999-2000 Civic Si, and all 1994-2001 Acura Integras (PN 641120).
