Resin composite fuel hose

1. A resin composite fuel hose of a multilayer construction, comprising:

a resin layer having permeation resistance to a fuel and serving as a barrier layer, an inner rubber layer as an inner surface layer laminated on an inner side of the resin layer and an outer rubber layer laminated on an outer side of the resin layer,

wherein the outer rubber layer has a rubber hardness degree equal to or greater than that of the inner rubber layer, and the inner rubber layer has a permanent elongation equal to or less than 90% according to JISK6262;

wherein the fuel hose further comprises a curved portion at a certain axial position thereof, one axial end of the fuel hose being larger in diameter than the other axial end thereof;

wherein the curved portion is formed in a shape of continuously increasing diameter from a curve beginning end of the curved portion with a small diameter near the other axial end of the fuel hose to a curve terminal end of the curved portion with a large diameter near the one axial end thereof.

2. The resin composite fuel hose as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the inner rubber layer has a rubber hardness degree in a range of 65 to 80 according to a durometer hardness test (type A) of JISK6253.

3. The resin composite fuel hose as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the outer rubber layer has a rubber hardness degree in a range of 65 to 85 according to a durometer hardness test (type A) of JISK6253.

4. The resin composite fuel hose as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the curved portions are formed at a plurality of the axial positions.
