Recently the requirements for light weight and high performance of the automobile have increased. Especially, the plastic fuel tube makers have made their efforts to dove]op the various plastic fuel tube module with not only dimensional accuracy but also cost competitiveness. The experiment is performed to investigate spring backs for PA12 plastic fuel tubes in case of compound bending. In the experiment, steam bending process is adopted as bending method. In this study, the results we obtained are used to design the bending fixtures and the compound bending system.
