NISSAN 17555-VB005 Fuel Hose

The genuine NISSAN fuel hose with part number 17555-VB005 (HOSE-FUEL) is an original component designed to ensure reliable, leak-free operation of the fuel supply system. Its primary function is to safely transfer fuel between system components while withstanding continuous internal pressure and mechanical stresses within the engine compartment.

Technical Specifications and Features

Fuel hoses are among the most heavily stressed flexible elements in automotive systems, subject to strict safety and environmental standards.

• Manufacturer: NISSAN OEM
• Part Number: 17555-VB005
• Part Type: Fuel Hose (HOSE-FUEL)
• Material Construction: Multi-layer, fuel- and oil-resistant synthetic elastomer with internal textile cord reinforcement to resist pulsating pressure and expansion
• Environmental Resistance: High resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering to endure engine bay conditions
• Function: Fuel delivery, pressure retention, and absorption of engine vibrations to protect rigid metal fuel lines

Wear Symptoms and Causes of Failure

Rubber-based fuel hoses deteriorate over time due to heat exposure, chemicals, and vibration. A damaged fuel hose poses a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately if any of the following symptoms occur:

• Micro-cracking or crazing on the outer or inner surface
• Hardening (embrittlement) or excessive softening of the hose wall
• Fuel leaks or seepage marks around clamps and connection points
• Strong fuel odor around the vehicle or in the engine bay
• Starting difficulties or rough engine running caused by fuel pressure loss

Vehicle Compatibility

• Nissan Patrol (Y61) [2001 - 2003]
