FUEL TRANSFER HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
Our specialised woven polyurethane layflat hose has been developed for the safe and efficient transfer of fuel. Our Petroline® layflat hose meets the stringent requirements of the Australian Defence Force, who have used it in major deployments overseas.
Petroline® customers include the Australian Defence Force, the Oil and Gas Industry as well as a variety of logistics and fuel handling companies.
Petroline® was developed to safely transfer hazardous liquid fuels over long Petroleum Hosesor short distances. For example, unloading or loading petrol from tankers to vehicles, and from vehicles to fuel depots. We have engineered Petroline® to withstand high pressure volatile situations, ensuring the highest safety.
Petroline® is an extruded polyurethane hose comprising a polyurethane cover and lining encasing a woven polyester fabric jacket. The woven jacket provides the strength, while the polyurethane provides chemical and abrasion resistance. Standard supply lengths are 100m and 200mm, but hose can be supplied to customer requirements.
Petroline’s customer base includes the Defence Force, the Oil and Gas Industry as well as a variety of fuel handling operators. Recent Petroline Projects Supply of hose for ship-to-shore de-bunkering at Christmas Island. Supply of hose and equipment for the Army’s bulk fuel distribiution: This project provides the Defence Force with the capability to transfer fuel for military and aviation needs very rapidly over considerable distances. Crusader Hose has supplied several kilometres of 150mm Petroline complete with a custom designed and built hose reeling system.

Typical fittings:
Crusader Hose recommends the use of Petroline couplings in most applications. Various coupling types are suitable for use with this hose. The anti-static wire is earthed to each coupling end. We typically attach the coupling using the wire whipping method. This tight “wrapping” technique keeps the couplings on at very high pressures. This is very important as leaks at high pressures are not only wasteful but can also be dangerous. We offer a further testing service whereby the entire hose assembly is certified to high pressure.
PETROLINE® FITTINGS
We have a wide range of specially designed Petroline® couplings for most applications Standards
- Manufactured to ISO 9001
- Complies with AS2683 section 2
- Complies with AS2001.28 – UV & abrasion tests
Petroline features:
- Lightweight & easy to handle
- High pressure rating
- Good resistance to fuel and chemicals
- Requires small storage space;
- easy to roll up
- Available in different colours
- Prompt delivery times and customer support
- UV stabilised; consequently suitable for extended outdoor use
- Anti-static copper wire built in for electrical continuity
The woven polyester fabric jacket gives the hose its high bursting and tensile load features.
The polyurethane cover not only protects the hose against abrasion damage but also against harmful UV radiation and ozone.
This unique design renders the hose light weight yet extremely strong and durable.
