If you own a magnacharger supercharger system for your 2010 camaro then this information will apply to you, and not as a scare tatic but to shed some light on a possible safety issue down the line.
A company we work with and tour shows with (TechAFX) was explaining some SAE fuel testing done on Magnachargers fuel hose that they send with their supercharger systems. The rubber hose in question here in this photo from the main fuel line to the fuel rail fitting, seen by the reservoir.
The hose sent from magnacharger is an inexpensive solution but unfortunately not as safe as it could be.
Data found through testing on this hose is as follows below -
"TechAFX has just completely extensive testing our LS V8 supercharger fuel Hose vs the competition: here are the results. The TechAFX hose successfully completed the SAE J2045 testing (which is 8 times average fuel rail pressure, or 58 x 8 = 464 psi) and actually was run up over 3 times that level (completing a test to 1200 psi!). Unfortunately, the fuel hose from the leading supercharger company (we tested 5 hose assemblies) did not pass this SAE test. It consistently failed at arounf 360 psi--well below the industry standard. For OE quality and performance in aftermarket applications"

I found this interesting enough to share with the rest of the members here, and as an option for those like myself who are very safe with fuel. Again the main purpose of this is not meant to be a sales pitch for TechAFX's optional fuel hose which replaces the Magnacharger rubber hose, it is meant as information in a raw form.
If anyone has any specific questions regarding this SAE test , or TechAFXs Teflon non conductive fuel hose that can be purchased for this application please let me know. Photo of the line in questions are in the video and if additional photos are requested I can provide side by side comparisons. Additional if you would like to inquire about purchasing this TechAFX hose or product pricing please do so in a PM or email as this is again an information bulletin as its main function.
