This test standard covers the procedure for measuring the permeation of fuel or fuel surrogates through test samples of elastomeric, plastic or composite materials, up to about 3 mm thick. The method involves filling a test cup with the test fluid (fuel or fuel surrogate), sealing test sample over the open end of the cup, and then placing the sealed container into an oven at the desired test temperature and measuring the weight loss over time. Permeation rates are calculated from the rate of weight loss and the exposed area of the test sample. Standard permeation test temperatures are 40 °C and 60 °C. Standard test fluids are Fuel C, Fuel CE10 and Fuel CM15. Other fluids, such as Fuel CMTBE15, and other volatile liquids may be tested according to this procedure as desired (SAE J1681). The method is not applicable for measuring permeation of higher boiling materials that will not completely evaporate from the exterior surface of the sample at the test temperature.

This test method is intended for measuring fuel permeation at elevated temperature through low permeating hose or tubing samples of elastomeric or composite construction. The expected accuracy of the method is about ±10% of the sample permeation rate. Hose permeation testing can be done two ways: Method A – Plug and Fill or Method B – using a fuel reservoir. Method A involves plugging one end of the hose, filling the sample to about 90% full with test fuel, plugging the other end, and then exposing the plugged sample to a desired test temperature, with the weight loss measured over time. Method B involves plugging one end of a hose, and then connecting the other end to a fuel reservoir. The hose sample and reservoir are then exposed to a desired test temperature with the weight loss measured over time. This procedure presents a recommended plug design that permits inserting the plugs prior to adding the test fluid.

This test method described in this document covers a procedure to speciate that is, to determine the amounts of each different fuel constituent that permeates across sheets, films or slabs of plastic materials. One side of the sheet is meant to be in contact with either a liquid test fuel or a saturated test fuel vapor, the other side is meant to be exposed to an environment free of fuel. The test fuel can either be a mixture of a small (usually smaller than ten) number of hydrocarbon, alcohol and ether constituents or it can be a sample of a real automotive fuel, e.g., one that may contain hundreds of different constituents. Furthermore, Appendix A contains guidelines to speciate evaporative emissions from finished fuel system components such as fuel lines, fuel filler pipes, fuel sender units, connectors and valves.

This SAE Standard encompasses the minimum functional requirements for fuel tubing and nonmetallic and nonrubber hose assemblies to be used in gasoline fuel injection systems. It utilizes information from the tubing standard SAE J2043, fittings and connectors SAE J2044, and protective covers SAE J2027. It is not intended to cover assemblies that operate below 30 °C (-22 °F) or above 115 °C (239 °F). In addition, this document is applicable for gasoline F.I. systems up to 5 bar (approximately 75 psig) operating pressure. It should be noted that temperatures can affect assemblies in various manners and every effort must be made to determine the operating temperature to which a specific assembly will be exposed, and design accordingly. This document does not make recommendations as to which assemblies are appropriate for different ranges of operating temperatures.

This SAE Recommended Practice was developed to standardize fuel inlet closure colors and verbiage by fuel type primarily for passenger car and truck applications, but it can be applied to marine, industrial, lawn and garden, and other similar applications. See Section 4, Table 1 for a list of specified colors, and text by fuel type.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines minimum functional requirements for quick connectors used in supply and return, liquid lines, for flexible tubing fuel systems. The document applies to automotive and light truck gasoline and diesel fuel systems, with operating pressures up to 500 kPa, 5 Bar, (72.5 psig), and the fuel lines and connectors routed such that continuous operating temperature exposure is less than 115 °C (239 °F). These tests apply to new fittings in assembly operations: for service operations, the male tube should be lubricated with engine oil before coupling. Vehicle O.E.M. fuel system specifications may impose additional requirements beyond the scope of this general SAE document. In those cases, the O.E.M. specification takes precedence over this document.

This document presents the requirements for a built-in service port to be used in vehicles intended to comply with Enhanced Evaporative Emissions Requirements. The primary function of the Service Port (Valve Assembly-Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Harness Service) is to provide non-destructive access to the evaporative emissions system to enable testing of the integrity of the system. The Service Port is used to introduce air pressure or fuel vapors into, or evacuates them out of, the system. This access may be used for the following evaluations: • Evaporative System Certifications Canister Loading and Purging • End-of-line Testing System Integrity • Service (e.g. OBD MIL on) Leak Location and Repair Verification • In-Use Compliance Testing Canister Loading and Purging • Inspection/Maintenance Testing System Integrity and Purge Check

This SAE Recommended Practice defines the minimum functional requirements for quick connectors used in supply, return, and vapor/emissions lines for flexible-tubing systems. This document applies to automotive and light truck gasoline and diesel fuel systems with operating pressure or vacuum up to 500 kPa, 5 bar, (72 psig) and operating temperatures up to 115 °C (239 °F). These tests apply to new connectors in assembly operations. Connectors must be pushed onto a mating tube end then pulled back to assure complete connection. For service operations, the mating tube should be lubricated with SAE 30 weight oil before re-connecting. Vehicle OEM fuel system specifications may impose additional requirements beyond the scope of this general SAE document. In those cases, the OEM specification takes precedence over this document.

The peak intermittent temperature is 115 °C (239 °F). For long-term continuous usage, the temperature shall not exceed 90 °C (194 °F). It should be noted that temperature extremes can affect assemblies in various manners and every effort must be made to determine the operating temperature to which a specific fuel line assembly will be exposed, and design accordingly.
