Westwood Fuel Lines
Westwood fuel lines transport petrol from tanks to carburettors whilst resisting chemical degradation across all equipment types. Our fuel line inventory includes Westwood fuel hoses, mower fuel lines, replacement fuel hoses, and petrol fuel lines in various diameters and lengths. Westwood Spares stocks Westwood fuel line assemblies in stock with correct ethanol-resistant materials and proper sizing for all major model series, providing worldwide shipping on all fuel line orders. These essential petrol fuel line components feature flexible rubber or synthetic materials that resist modern ethanol fuels, maintain tight connections on barbed fittings, and withstand vibration preventing cracks or leaks throughout demanding mowing operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should Westwood fuel lines be replaced?
Replace fuel lines showing cracks, hardening, swelling, or leaks immediately as failed lines create fire hazards. Preventive replacement every 2-3 years prevents failures as ethanol fuel degrades rubber over time.
What size fuel line fits Westwood mowers?
Most Westwood walk-behind mowers use 1/4-inch (6mm) inner diameter fuel line, whilst ride-on models may require 5/16-inch or 3/8-inch. Measure old line diameter or check parts diagrams for correct sizing before ordering.
Why do Westwood fuel lines crack and leak?
Fuel line cracking results from ethanol fuel chemically attacking standard rubber, age-related hardening from heat exposure, ozone degradation, or improper storage with fuel left in system. Use ethanol-resistant fuel line for longevity.
Can I use automotive fuel line on Westwood mowers?
Automotive fuel line works temporarily but standard rubber hose degrades quickly from ethanol; use proper small engine fuel line rated for ethanol blends. Reinforced automotive line may not fit tight on small diameter fittings.
How do I prevent Westwood fuel line problems?
Prevent fuel line failures by using ethanol-resistant line rated for small engines, draining fuel systems during storage, keeping lines away from hot engine surfaces, and inspecting regularly for cracks or hardening.
