Modern petrol fuels commonly contain ethanol, which can cause older or unsuitable rubber fuel hoses to harden, crack, swell or deteriorate over time. This can increase the risk of fuel leaks and potential engine reliability issues. Ethanol-resistant fuel hose is specifically designed to withstand modern fuel blends, helping to maintain flexibility, durability and safe fuel delivery. For classic Volkswagen owners, upgrading to ethanol-resistant hose is often considered an essential maintenance improvement to help protect both the vehicle and its occupants.

Codan
Codan products help Volkswagen owners maintain safe, reliable fuel and fluid systems with high-quality automotive hoses trusted by vehicle manufacturers worldwide.

About Codan Parts
Founded in Denmark in 1908, Codan has evolved into one of Europe's leading manufacturers of automotive hose systems and fluid-handling components. The company began supplying the automotive sector in the 1950s and today manufactures hoses and assemblies for vehicle manufacturers, OEM suppliers and the aftermarket across the world.
Codan is best known for its fuel hose, breather hose, coolant hose and brake servo hose products. These components play a vital role in the safe transfer of fuel, air, oil and coolant throughout the vehicle. Modern fuels containing ethanol can accelerate the deterioration of older rubber hoses, which is why many Volkswagen owners choose Codan's ethanol-resistant fuel hose when carrying out servicing, restoration work or preventative maintenance.
Codan products are commonly fitted to the Volkswagen Beetle, T2 Split Screen, T2 Bay Window, T25, T4 and T5/T6 Transporters. Whether you're replacing ageing fuel lines on an air-cooled engine, or renewing coolant hoses, Codan parts help keep critical systems operating safely and reliably.

Compatibility & Fitment Guidance
To ensure you order the correct Codan hose, we recommend checking:
- Your Volkswagen model.
- Vehicle production year.
- Internal hose diameter required.
- Fuel, coolant, oil or vacuum application.
- Existing OEM or manufacturer part numbers where available.
Many Codan hoses are supplied by the metre and can be used across multiple Volkswagen applications. Always confirm the correct hose size and specification before ordering.
How to Choose the Right Codan Hose
When replacing fuel lines, always select hose designed for modern ethanol-containing fuels. Check the internal diameter of your existing hose before ordering and inspect associated clips and fittings at the same time. Replacing ageing fuel hose as part of preventative maintenance can help reduce the risk of leaks and improve long-term reliability.
