Abstract
A fuel hose comprising a rubber layer and a fluororesin layer formed on the inner surface of the rubber layer, in which the adhesion to the fluororesin layer is improved by blending from 2 to 15 phr of a phenol-type resin with the rubber forming the rubber layer. Phenol resins of a specific polymeric structure are particularly preferred as the phenol-type resins. A fluororesin layer formed by melting a fluororesin and allowing it to adhere to the inner surface of the rubber layer by powder coating is particularly preferred. The provision of the fluororesin layer on the inner surface of the rubber layer enables simple and effective adhesion of the thinned fluororesin layer to the rubber layer.
