You had better replace every piece of rubber that comes in contact with modern fuel with brand new fuel hose because the modern fuels are extremely hard on old formula fuel hose. That goes for any hose that has been in place since about 1992. This includes vacuum hoses. You are extremely lucky that they have not either crumbled or simply disolved. Also you want to replace old flex hoses in your brakes about every 5 years, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bar00n" <baroon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 5:32 PM Subject: Re: IML: Putting out car fires > Hah! > My fuelhoses have been good for 35-ish years!
