The Fuel hose you bought is designed to have fuel inside it, not on the outside. If you use a lot of the fuel additives, such as cleaners, they will attacked the hoses. Also, when fuel sits in the tank for an extended period of time, it will change composition and attack rubber components. These are all good reasons to drive your car often, so that you have fresh fuel in the tank. The vendors may be using a modern elastomer composition for there new hoses. If your hose has become soft or gummy, get it out of the tank and clean the tank thoroughly. If you don't you will continue to suffer from contamination throughout the fuel system. Been there, done that.

This was the best fuel line my vendors carry short. So everyone that has swapped the tank line out reacently you might want to check on it.. My car is stored with maybe 1-2gal of gas with stabil, and that it does get fresh gas and stabil once a month when I run it till it gets up to temp then 5 min at opperating temperature. Andrei Yahoo!
