Abstract:
1. A method for making a metal tube ( 2 ) sheathed with an electrically non-conducting plastic layer ( 1 ), for use in a motor vehicle for transporting liquid or gaseous media, especially fuels, and which is adapted to be connected to a conductive portion of the motor vehicle, the steps comprising, completely removing said plastic layer ( 1 ) over the total circumference of the metal tube ( 2 ) at an area of connection ( 3 ), providing a conductive covering section ( 4 ) and at least covering the area of connection ( 3 ) on all sides of the area of connection ( 3 ) with said conductive covering section ( 4 ) and pressing said conductive covering onto the metal tube ( 2 ) at least at its ends under radial pressure applied along at least part of the circumference without any gaps.
