I've never heard anyone mention ever having a problem with that low pressure
plastic tubing. It more than likely suffered a projectile from the rear tire
than wore out.

If you are replacing lines.......ALL should be replaced or the weakest link
will surely show itself.

Subject: The "other" fuel line burst today

My van kept up it's usual MO of doing all it's breaking down in my own
driveway today.  I will pulling down th driveway and smelled gas then I
looked up the driveway and saw a large line if gas going up the driveway. I
could not find the leak until I finally started the van and saw it squirting
out the long plastic line that goes to the "other" side of the van. It must
dry pretty quickly because that hose was dry when I was searching for the
leak.  Anyway, anybody doing a gas line replacement should consider doing
this one too. It does not look like it can burst but it can.  I also had to
go to 4 stores to find the stuff.

Thanks,
Bryan
