Just replaced 2 yr old piece of fuel rated hose at the shop in '32 non ford product. Another "modern" gas episode--- to be replaced with metal gas lines, etc.
Now we're paying more close attention to gauges, valves, filters, seals and gaskets.

Stuff I buy by the foot from the car parts stores I've had on mowers for 15+ years no probs...always been ran on E10...There is junk fuel hose out there as ive ran across it before and it gets hard as a rock...
 
It is not all ethanols fault. I have had to replace all the low pressure fuel lines on a modern diesel tractor. They just get all soft and start oozing fuel.
 
Sorry but when you guy or gals going to stop using rubber hose for gas lines. I saw a totally restored 69 corvette burn up because a guy used rubber hose for a gas line. why
 
If this is truly fuel rated hose (either A1 or B1, NOT A2 or B2 fuel VENT hose) and it failed after 2 years, then all our fuel hoses on everything we drive would be failing every two years...and that isn't happening (at least to me).

There is info missing in this story.

same - if your heavy on additives like seafoam and it sits (ie all winter) it can eat into rubber if its too concentrated.
