High pressure hose for modular fuel delivery system

Claim 1

In a modular fuel delivery system including a canister with a fluid connector thereon having a first tubular stem including a fir-tree barb having an annular shoulder with a first outside diameter, and a cover connected to said canister and spaced therefrom by a variable gap and having a high pressure fluid connector thereon including a second tubular stem having a fir-tree barb having an annular shoulder with said first outside diameter, a high pressure blow-molded elastomeric hose comprising: a flexible body having a plurality of annular sinusoidal convolutions, a pair of integral cylindrical ends at opposite ends of said body each having a second diameter less than said first diameter and each adapted for press fit engagement on said fir-tree barb on a respective one of said first and said second tubular stems, means on each of said cylindrical ends defining an annular inside bead for engagement behind said annular shoulder on said respective one of said fir-tree barb for increased retention of said cylindrical ends on said first and said second tubular stems, and means on each of said cylindrical ends defining an annular outside bead between convoluted body and said annular inside bead whereat force is applied to press fit each of said cylindrical ends on respective ones of said first and said second tubular stems.
