Braided Hose Types Explained Braided Rubber Hose - Compatible with AN swivel braided rubber hose ends only. NOT compatible with PTFE hose ends. This type of hose is commonly used for oil, coolant, fuel (externally routed) and vacuum systems. Braided PTFE Lined Hose - Compatible with AN swivel braided PTFE hose ends only. NOT compatible with braided rubber swivel hose ends. If fuel lines are located, or pass through the inside of the vehicle then it is critical to use PTFE lined hose as the internal PTFE lining creates a vapor barrier to eliminate dangerous fumes from permeating the cabin. The PTFE liner also prevents the fuel hose from hardening and will not allow the hose to fracture or crack.
