a method for manufacturing a fuel hose which can efficiently produce heat - resistant and flexible fuel hoses . the method for manufacturing a fuel hose forms a protector layer on an outer peripheral surface of a resinous inner layer , and includes the steps of extruding an ultraviolet crosslinking composition for a protector layer that contains the following components a to d , on the outer peripheral surface of the resinous inner layer ; and subsequently , irradiating ultraviolet rays to polymerize the ultraviolet crosslinking composition , thus forming the protector layer : ethylene - propylene - diene rubber ; acrylate - based monomer ; silica ; and photopolymerization initiator .
