The integrity of your fuel delivery system hinges on the quality of every connecting line. The VG1560080284 TUBE from HOWO is engineered to provide a secure, high‑pressure conduit for diesel fuel, ensuring uninterrupted flow from the filter to the injection pump. As a critical Howo/Sitrak truck parts component, this tube is precision‑bent from high‑grade seamless steel, featuring a protective zinc‑nickel coating that resists corrosion, chafing, and thermal degradation. Its factory‑formed ends guarantee a perfect fit with OEM connectors, eliminating the risk of leaks and pressure drops. Whether you are replacing a damaged line or performing a full fuel system overhaul, the VG1560080284 delivers the durability and exacting tolerances that professional workshops and fleet operators demand, ensuring your engine receives clean fuel at the correct pressure for optimal combustion and reduced emissions.
The VG1560080284 Tube serves as the vital artery that carries pressurised fuel between the filter head and the high‑pressure pump or common‑rail. Any weakness – whether from corrosion, fatigue, or poor fitment – can introduce air, cause pressure fluctuations, or lead to catastrophic leaks. HOWO has designed this tube with a double‑walled construction at critical bend points, resisting work hardening and cracking under vibration. Its precise mandrel‑bent geometry matches the original routing, eliminating strain on fittings and ensuring a clean installation. With the VG1560080284, you eliminate the guesswork of cutting and flaring generic tubing, saving time and guaranteeing a factory‑grade seal that withstands the rigors of heavy‑duty operation.

The VG1560080284 Tube is produced using a cold‑drawing process that ensures a uniform wall thickness and an exceptionally smooth internal bore. This reduces flow turbulence and pressure loss, allowing the fuel system to maintain consistent delivery. The tube is then mandrel‑bent on CNC benders to achieve the exact compound angles required for the specific vehicle platform, eliminating any stress risers or kinks that could weaken the line.
After bending, the tube undergoes a rigorous cleaning process to remove any manufacturing residues, followed by a zinc‑nickel electroplating with a trivalent chrome passivation. This coating provides outstanding corrosion protection, exceeding 500 hours of salt spray resistance. The tube ends are equipped with precision‑swaged ferrules and swivel nuts, ensuring a reliable, leak‑free connection without the need for thread sealant. Every VG1560080284 is pressure‑tested and visually inspected to guarantee defect‑free performance, reflecting HOWO’s commitment to quality and safety.
The VG1560080284 is specifically designed for HOWO heavy‑duty trucks equipped with MC11 and MC13 engines, including T7H, A7, and derivative models. It is typically used as the fuel supply line from the filter head to the injection pump, or as a return line from the injector spill rail. The tube’s pre‑formed shape matches the original routing, clipping directly into factory brackets without modification.
This tube is also compatible with many Sinotruk and other commercial vehicles that share the same fuel line layout. To confirm fitment, always cross‑reference the OEM number on your existing tube with VG1560080284. If they match, this component will integrate seamlessly. Keeping this tube in your spare parts stock ensures you can quickly address fuel line corrosion or damage, minimising downtime and preventing costly roadside breakdowns.

Replacing a corroded, kinked, or leaking fuel tube with the VG1560080284 restores full fuel system integrity. The smooth internal bore and precise routing eliminate flow restrictions, allowing the injection pump to draw fuel without cavitation or air entrainment. This results in improved throttle response, smoother idle, and consistent power delivery across the rev range.
The superior corrosion resistance of the zinc‑nickel coating prevents rust‑induced pinholing – a common cause of fuel odours and fire hazards. For fleet operators, using a genuine HOWO tube reduces the risk of fuel system contamination and associated warranty claims, extending the service life of injectors and pumps. By investing in the VG1560080284, you are ensuring that your engine receives the fuel it needs, when it needs it, for maximum efficiency and reliability.
Installing the VG1560080284 Tube is a straightforward operation. Begin by relieving fuel system pressure and placing a container beneath the connections. Remove the old tube by unscrewing the union nuts at both ends and carefully withdrawing the tube from its brackets.
Inspect the threaded ports for damage and clean them thoroughly. Install the new tube, ensuring it follows the original routing and seats fully in all retaining clips. Hand‑tighten the union nuts, then torque them to the manufacturer’s specification (typically 20‑25 Nm) using a crowfoot wrench to avoid twisting the tube. After installation, prime the fuel system and start the engine, checking for leaks. It is good practice to re‑check torque after a heat cycle. With proper installation, the VG1560080284 will provide years of leak‑free service.
Pro Tip: Always use new copper or aluminium sealing washers when installing the tube. Reusing old washers can lead to leaks. The VG1560080284 is designed to work with standard seal rings; ensure they are clean and free from scoring.
Genuine HOWO components are engineered to the highest standards, and the VG1560080284 Tube is no exception. Aftermarket tubes often use lower‑grade steel with thin, non‑uniform coatings, leading to premature rust and pinhole leaks. HOWO’s tube is manufactured with the same steel specification and coating process as the original equipment, guaranteeing a perfect fit and long‑lasting corrosion protection.
By choosing the VG1560080284, you benefit from HOWO’s rigorous quality assurance, including burst pressure testing, fatigue testing, and salt spray validation. This ensures that the tube can withstand the harsh under‑hood environment and the constant vibration of heavy‑haul operations. Moreover, genuine parts are backed by a comprehensive warranty and supported by HOWO’s global network, giving you confidence in your purchase and peace of mind.
