Hey everybody this is Adam *** at Ace Motorsports in Vista California. And I'm working with my good
friends at Heatshield Products. Over here we have the Hot Rod Sleeve. This is
actually a very attractive looking sleeve and it also gives you some abrasion
resistance as well as heat reflective qualities. So we're probably gonna use
this on some of the fuel lines that we are going to be installing on our
project car. Let's go ahead and cut some sleeve off and get going here. So here we
are applying the Hot Rod Sleeve by Heatshield Products to a fuel line that's going to be in the
engine compartment of our race car project that we're working on.
We're doing that because of its reflective qualities for heat. It's basically
designed to reflect heat away from the component which is the hose. In an engine
compartment obviously there's a lot of heat being generated, and to have it reflected
away is an advantage. Especially in these cars I see a lot of abuse in the time
fifty minutes sprint race. So it's very simple we use simple pair of scissors to cut
off pre-cut the piece of sleeve that's going to go onto the hose that we are going to
use. And it ... it's easy to apply in the fact that it expands. So put it over the end
of the fitting and slide it right on to where we need to be. And now our final
step is the same as we use with the fire shield and the fact that we need to seal
the ends of this sleeve (so) that heat doesn't come into the ends of the sleeve which is probably
more what we're looking for in this application.
So we just simply slide the heat shrink over the edge
and get our heat gun warmed up.
And there you have it, as simple as that. We've got a fuel line ready to go into
the engine compartment
