A hose is a hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hoses are also sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing. The shape of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section).

Hose design is based on a combination of application and performance. Common factors are Size, Pressure Rating, Weight, Length, Straight hose or Coilhose and Chemical Compatabiltiy.

Hoses are made from one or a combination of many different materials. Applications mostly use nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene, PVC, or synthetic or natural rubbers, based on the environment and pressure rating needed. In recent years, hoses can also be manufactured from special grades of polyethylene (LDPE and especially LLDPE). Other hose materials include PTFE (Teflon), stainless steel and other metals.

Does anyone have any tips for removing a stubborn hose nozzle?
Q. I have a hose nozzle that appears to have some white corrosion inside the threads where it attaches to the hose. I've tried wrenches and everything else - and I cannot remove the nozzle from the hose. I tried dripping some pool acid inside the threads to eat the corrosion and still no dice. Does anyone have any tips or do I have to buy a new hose?

A. Take a hacksaw and saw the hose at the end about an inch from the nozzle.Buy a male hose repair barb fitting at Lowes or Home Depot,put it in the end that you cut and attach the hose clamp that comes with it and it will last for years.It is so simple.The part only costs about 4.00$ Good luck but you wont need it because it is easy.Saves from buying a new hose everytime something goes wrong.

What is the best way to unclog my fuel filler hose?
Q. I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra, and when fueling the pump keeps cutting off after a third of a gallon or so. I was told that the filler hose is clogged and the fuel is diverted to the vent hose instead. Is there a way to unclog my filler hose, if that is the problem? Is there an easy way to unclog my vent hose?

A. Unless somebody stuffed a potato in your filler pipe I doubt it is clogged. You may have a kinked filler hose or a restricted vent hose.

A. Which hose are you referring to? Is it the upper rad hose or lower rad hose? What engine does it have, the 3.0L OHV V6 or 3.0L DOHC 24-valve V6? The hose clamps on this particular car use a "squeeze-clamp" type hose clamps which can be difficult to remove, if the hose is in a difficult to access area. For this job, a special tool like the one pictured in the link below will greatly reduce the time required to service the hose clamps. Hope this helps.
