What are Biofuel Friendly Products?TMThe Biofuel Friendly Products logo indicatesproducts which have compatible chemicalresistance with all four types of fuels:New alternative biofuels:Ethanol (up to E98)Biodiesel* (up to B100)And traditional petroleum-based fuels:GasolineDiesel*Applies to biodiesels which meet ASTM D6751 criteria.The absence of the Biofuel Friendly Products logo by products in thiscatalog indicates those products are chemically compatible withtraditional petroleum based fuels or oils, but not necessarily chemicallycompatible with the higher percentage blends of the new alternativebiofuels. Refer to the Chemical Resistance Chart near the back of thiscatalog for more information by product series.Changing Fuels Create ChallengesAs we look to reduce our dependence on foreign petroleum based fuels,as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the use of alternativebiofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel continues to grow. This createschallenges in the fuel industry, as many existing petroleum transferproducts were not designed with these alternative biofuels in mind.That’s why Kuriyama is proud to introduce Biofuel Friendly Products,a complete package of revolutionary fuel transfer hoses, couplings andaccessories. Biofuel Friendly Products are specially engineered toresist the added strain caused by the ever-widening market use of thenew high-percentage blends of biofuels – ethanol and biodiesel – whilemaintaining superior reliability transferring traditional petroleum basedfuels – gasoline and diesel.Look for the Biofuel Friendly Products logo. Whenever you see it youcan be confident that you are providing the best fuel transfer solutions!BECAUSE WE CONTINUALLY EXAMINE WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER SPECIFICATIONS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.KPPCA0308KPPCA0109

Hose Assembly Coupling Installation Suggestionsfor Tigerflex Series TDH & TDHBK Gasoline Drop Hoses & Series TV & TVHD Gasoline Vapor Recovery Hoses using Tigerflex Banding Sleeves or Banding CoilsFor safety, Kuriyama of America, Inc. strongly suggests that any hoseassembly used to transfer gasoline or gasoline vapors be bonded toground before being put into service*.Tigerflex Hose Series TDH , TDHBK , TV and TVHD aremanufactured with a stranded copper wire in the rigid PVC helix. Thewire is to be physically extracted from the helix and bonded (connected)*Note: Visual inspections should be conductedon a regular basis to ensure the hose assembly’scontinued safety.Failure to properly couple a hose or ensure continuity can resultin property damage and serious or life-threatening injury!Kuriyama of America, Inc. shall not be liable if you do notfollow the procedures outlined below.to ground through the metal coupler/fitting, or by other means. A properlybonded/grounded hose assembly should measure less than 10 ohms*.The person assembling the couplings to the hose should know how tocheck the hose assembly for continuity by properly using a continuitymeter and/or an ohmmeter. Contact Kuriyama for training information.Read the Technical Bulletin on page 21 and 22 of this catalog.79Step 1 — Prior to coupling,check the grounding/bondingwire in the cut length of hosewith a continuity meter or ohmmeter(ohmmeter should readless than 10 ohms).2 Step 4 — Grasp the end ofthe hose’s helix and carefullybend it back and forth until thehelix snaps off. Be careful notto break the copper groundingwire.Step 2 — Using a sharp knife,cut the flex around the circumferenceof the hose approximately2”.3Step 3 — Using the knife, makea light cut around the entire circumferenceof the hose’s rigidhelix, including the urethane flex.Note: The copper groundingwire is located in the center ofthe helix . . . be careful not to cuttoo deeply into the helix, to avoiddamaging the grounding wire.TIP: Cut all the way through theurethane flex, but only score theunderside of the helix.45Step 5 — Gently pull thebroken end of the hose’s helixoff the copper wire. TIP: Pullclockwise, with the curve ofthe helix.6Step 6 — Twist the coppergrounding wire strands togetherand tuck the wire inside the hose.Step 7 — Screw approximately12” of banding sleeve onto thehose; use appropriate lubricantas needed. Or, thread thebanding coil between the helixesonto the hose. Slip thebanding clamps onto the hose.TIP: When using banding coils,tighten clamps in a clockwisedirection so the banding coiltightens down on the hose.8Step 8 — Insert the coupler’sbarbed shank into the hose,twisting counterclockwise as itenters. For ease of installation,an appropriate lubricant maybe used.Step 9 — Insert the coupler intothe hose until the hose seatsagainst the bottom of the coupler.Step 10 — Check continuity/ohmmeter reading again, betweenthe fittings on each end.11Step 11 — Install two hoseclamps over the hose end abovethe coupling. The clamp bucklesshould be located 180° apart.When using banding coils, besure to tighten clamps in aclockwise direction so the bandingcoils tighten down on thehose.Step 12 — Check continuity/ohmmeter reading again, betweenthe fittings on each end of thehose assembly. The resistanceshould measure less than 10 ohms.BECAUSE WE CONTINUALLY EXAMINE WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER SPECIFICATIONS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.20KPPCA0308KPPCA0109

Technical Bulletin1How23Whatare Tigerflex BIOFUEL FRIENDLY PRODUCTS hosesdifferent from other brand hoses?Tigerflex brand hoses are well known for their lightweight,easy-to-handle and long-life features.Tigerflex brand BIOFUEL FRIENDLY PRODUCTS drop andvapor recovery hoses are revolutionary! They are constructedwith non-permeable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)tubes. Traditional thermoplastics, while providing exceptionallightweight and flexibility features, were not chemicallycompatible for fuels of more than 30% ethanol blended (E30).But the new Tigerflex brand BIOFUEL FRIENDLYPRODUCTS hoses, utilizing the latest advancements in TPUdevelopment, have been lab and field proven to remain crackand leak resistant under the harshest conditions. They easilyhandle conventional oxygenated and reformulated gasolineblends; ethanol blends (up to E98); ultra low sulfur (ULS) diesel;and bio-diesels (up to B100 which meet ASTM D 6751 criteria).The Tigerflex BIOFUEL FRIENDLY PRODUCTS hoses aretruly revolutionary!What are ethanol blends – E10, E85, E98, E100?E10 (gasohol) is a fuel blend containing 10% ethanol and 90%gasoline; E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline; E95 is 95%ethanol and 5% gasoline; and so on. E100 is ethyl alcohol (grainalcohol). Many common plastics and rubbers are chemicallycompatible with E100. Yet, E100 is almost never used ortransported in the U.S. fuel industry because E100 is taxed asalcohol (liquor). Gasoline is added to render the fuel unsuitablefor human consumption, and thus not subject to alcohol taxes.Adding gasoline changes the chemical composition whereasmaterials that are compatible with E100 are not compatible withan E98 fuel blend.Kuriyama ® BIOFUEL FRIENDLY PRODUCTS products can beused with all percentage blends of ethanol fuel.Metal couplings compatibility: Aluminum (good), Stainless Steel(excellent).is biodiesel – B20, B100?Biodiesel is a non-fossil fuel alternative to petroleum diesel.ASTM International has developed standard D6751 as thespecification standard for 100% biodiesel (B100). Biodiesel isgenerally used for blending with petroleum diesel. For example,B20 is a fuel blend of approximately 20% biodiesel and 80%traditional petroleum diesel. ASTM D6751 is the specificationfor biodiesel fuels that needs to be met, irrespective of thefeedstock source and/or processing method. Biodieselswhich meet the ASTM D6751 criteria have the same chemicalcompatibilities to hoses and accessories as traditional petroleumdiesel.It is suggested that biodiesel fuels be sourced from accreditedBQ-9000 Producers and BQ-9000 Marketers to assure thebiodiesel fuel meets the ASTM D6751 criteria.Kuriyama ® BIOFUEL FRIENDLY PRODUCTS hose productscan be used with all percentage blends of biodiesels meetingthe ASTM D6751 criteria.Metal couplings compatibility: Aluminum (excellent), StainlessSteel (excellent).4What5Can6Dotype of hose should be used for denatured ethanol(E95-E98) unloading at terminals?We suggest our Alfagomma ® series-T629AA – 150 PSI BlackBiofuel Petroleum Suction Hose for bulk ethanol terminals.The Alfagomma ® T629AA is a specially blended, heavy dutyneoprene hose, well suited for these types of applications.The Tigerflex Tigerdrop drop hose is a lightweight,user-friendly hose, designed for tank truck applications.However, it also has been used successfully at well maintainedbulk ethanol facilities.IMPORTANT: Extra care must be taken when handlingdenatured ethanol (E95-E98) – even more so than withtraditional petroleum based fuels. The following proceduresmust be followed to ensure maximum hose service life:1. Hose should be drained and unhooked from the pumpafter each use. Properly draining and unhooking the hose willprotect it from damaging denatured ethanol vapors. AmericanPetroleum Institute Recommended Practices No. 1007, section5.4, states that, “When pumping is finished the driver shouldwalk the suction hose to the pump... Place any residual productinto approved container.”2. Hose should be kept in a properly designed, ( shaped),storage rack when not in use. Use of storage rack will helpensure the hose is properly drained after each use; as wellprotect the hose from being accidentally run over!3. Keep hose in a shaded area when in use. Do not exposehose to direct sunlight. Excessive UV exposure can damageany hose.4. Thoroughly inspect hose before, during and after each use.If the hose is not fully drained after each use the denaturedethanol remaining in the hose can release damaging vapors,this is especially true at high temperatures. When the airtemperature exceeds 90° F, the temperature of ground,concrete, asphalt or stone surface upon which the hose maybe lying can be in excess of 150° F. At temperatures in excessof 110°F denatured ethanol has been shown to percolate,releasing damaging vapors. These vapors can permeatethe hose at a much higher rate than the liquid fuel, and cansubstantially reduce the service life of the hose. Ethanol vaporsare extremely damaging, more so than petroleum based fuelvapors.I leave gasoline or E85 inside the hoses when not in use?We strongly recommend that all fuel transfer hoses are fullydrained after each use. Per American Petroleum InstituteRecommended Practices No. 1007, Section 4, when unloadingto underground storage tanks, to “Disconnect the delivery hoseat the tank truck and “roll” it to the receiving tank to be sure it iscompletely drained.” In addition, vapor recovery hoses used indistribution terminal loading racks must be regularly inspectedand drained as fuel will tend to collect in the hoses. At hightemperatures these fuels can percolate, releasing damagingvapors which can attack the hose and shorten service life.drop and vapor recovery hose need to be grounded?For added safety, Kuriyama of America, Inc. strongly suggeststhat any hose assembly used to transfer fuel or fuel vapors bebonded to ground before being put into service. (Refer to HoseAssembly Coupling Installation Suggestions in the catalog.)Embedded grounding wires should be physically extracted fromthe hose and bonded (connected) to ground through the metalcoupler, or by other means.UBECAUSE WE CONTINUALLY EXAMINE WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER SPECIFICATIONS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.KPPCA0409KPPCA0109 21

Technical Bulletin7HowAmerican Petroleum Institute Recommended PracticeNo. 2003 (API RP-2003) and the National Fire ProtectionAssociation (NFPA) Standard No. 385 both state that hosestransferring gasoline to underground storage tanks (UST’s)need not be bonded as long as they are used with “closed(tight) connections”. API defines “closed connections” as aconnection in which before flow starts and is broken after flowis completed. In summary, for gravity drop and vapor recoveryapplications, the user must make sure the hose assemblies areproperly connected before starting the flow. Static dissipatingand conductive hose tube material offer an added dimensionof safety. Nonetheless, the electrical resistance of any hosetransferring gasoline should measure less than 10 ohms (
