NISSAN 17226-VB005 Fuel Filler Hose

The genuine NISSAN fuel filler hose with part number 17226-VB005 is a critical OEM component responsible for providing a direct, leak-free connection between the fuel filler neck and the vehicle's fuel tank.

Function and Technical Features

The primary function of the fuel filler hose is to safely and reliably transfer fuel into the fuel tank without loss. Its design resists the aggressive chemical compounds of modern fuels (petrol and diesel), as well as extreme environmental conditions including ozone, salt spray, and mechanical vibrations. Its flexible construction compensates for movement and thermal expansion between the vehicle body and the tank.

Signs of Wear and Failure

Replacing a damaged or aged hose is essential for fire prevention and environmental safety.
