How long does that take? It should take some years for it to reoccur even with the cheapest hoses out there unless you have another issue going on. Our fuel has ethanol added, that's my main suspect right now  |

Well he is in Costa Rica so I bet its in  + degree temps almost everyday.That might be one of the reasons they are degrading sooner than usual. Is not that hot in San Jose, I live up the mountain, this time of the year it is very chilly  |

Is not that hot in San Jose, I live up the mountain, this time of the year it is very chilly Dewd we have 10% ethanol in our fuel and it has been killing the lines every other year,,I also cut grass for a living and I have a spool of fuel line for all my weed wacker and blowers,,they all need to be changed at least once every two seasons,,i remember when fuel lines would last 10 years on stuff,,not anymore man! Try out the stuff I showed you,,I think it will last a bit longer...I have the high pressure fuel line on my mower now for over 4 years and its still in pretty good shape,,Im going to change it out this Winter because the inside might be deteriorating and i cant see it,,but its still pretty soft and has not swelled up or cracked yet,,that mower is out in the hot sun 8 hours a day. I change the lines on everything around here every couple years man,,the corn fuel $ucks!!!! Tom |

Tom I'm not a fan of moonshine fuel neither, it might be ok for moder cars, but for carburated stuff is not that good, my 61 Land Rover doesn't like it either, fuel tanks get corroded  |

Dump some Lucas fuel injector cleaner in there once in a while,,that stuff is amazing..had high emissions like 150 points high on my old truck a few years ago,,then I ran a bottle of that Lucas to about 1\4 tank of premium fuel,,I passed by 25 points man,I swear by that Lucas,I use it in all my motors and it really helps. I think its part rocket fuel..lol  |
