scope:

This specification covers the materials and performance of elastomeric o-rings, used for quick connector fittings for fuel systems lines. Quick connectors contain two different o-rings, one for reduction of fuel permeation (Type A, C, E or G) and one for cold resistance properties (generally Type B for liquid fuel applications, Type D for fuel vapor applications). If no type designation is given on the blueprint or in the math data, the o-rings required to be used must be one of Type A and one of Type B.

Material Description. Materials covered by this specification are divided into seven types:

Type A. Fluorosilicone Rubber/Fluorocarbon Rubber (FVMQ/FKM) Color Code: brown.

Type B. FVMQ Color Code: yellow.

Type C. FVMQ/FKM Optional FKM Color Code: black. The material of this o-ring must meet the conductivity requirement of Table 1 (Volume Resistance).

Type D. Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR) Color Code: red brown. This type of o-ring is only to be used for fuel vapor line connections which are outside of the engine compartment.

Type E. FKM Color Code: green.

Type F. Drawing defined (e.g., using SAE J200 or ASTM D2000 line callout).

Type G. FKM, Low Durometer, and Low Tensile Modulus.

Symbols. Not applicable.

Typical Applications.Not applicable.
