1/4 Inch KV Fuel Hose

[69BFan]

Does anyone have pictures or knowledge of a 1/4 Inch "KV" stamped fuel hose as originally installed on these cars as an assembly line piece?  We already do the 5/16 and 3/8 inch "KV" stamped hose variations, but I have never seen or heard of a 1/4 inch style.  The guy said the hose was original to the car, a 70 GTX.  But who knows, it could have been replaced years ago at the dealership or a previous owner.  He said he would send me detailed pictures.  It would be easily enough reproduced, but do not want to do it, if it was not an assembly line piece.  Thanks for any insight onto the subject.

I've always kept an eye open for a sample of 1/4 KV hose and have never came across one either...

this is the original 3/8" & 1/4" hose off of a '72 GTX's expansion tank    I see NO "KV" on the 1/4"  (3/8", 3/8", 1/4", 1/4", 3/8" in top pic)

Thanks for the input guys.  I always say to "never say never", but I feel that on most situations, you have to go on the consensus of the samples that you have before you.  So until we see something more concrete, we will continue with the just the blank hose sections for the 1/4 inch fuel line hose sections.

I recently went through the same situation, I called Frank Badalson to order some 1/4" KV vapor line and he told me that the 1/4" hose wasn't marked just the 5/16" and 3/8" were marked KV so I went to NAPA and grabbed some of there's and used some thinner to remove the markings.

Hard to argue with Dan's photo.

I've always heard/read no KV on the 1/4".

Now the finish on the pinch clamps is another topic.
