Default hose wrap

Has anyone used any wrap for any of their hoses, specifically trans, hydraulic, fuel lines?

I noticed when taking off especially my old fuel lines that they run real close to, even touching each other and engine parts, showing signs of abrasion. I am looking to get something to wrap them with that would help prevent this, especially since they are all brand new.

This is probably a good idea to protect hoses from rocks kicking up from the tires. Our much loved compressor coolant hoses are probably good candidates...

I use the automotive type of wire loom. Comes in several sizes and seems to outlast the dinosaurs. BB used it extensively for many applications other than wire. I have found it enclosing fuel lines, coolant hoses, and anything to keep something from rubbing against anything else. You can buy at any automotive supply house or even HD. Comes in sizes from 3/8" up to at least 2 1/2" that I have seen.

I like and use the spiral wrap Shane posted. You can also use it to bundle wiring without tywraps or tape easy to use and reuse over and over,of course I never need to add in another wire to the bundle,,"yea right" thats how I know about the reuse

For my fuel lines, I ended up going with this product which Gardner and Steve used on their coaches...

Delcity has some cool stuff! I wish that loom came in colors to match the silicone hose...
