    New style fuel line?

    The line with the blue writing on it. Hoow does it seem to be holding up? I know the recommended change is annually, but has anyone seen alot of failures and if so how old was it? just wonding on its durability.

    We've been using this line for about 1.5 years now... so far, I've not seen any that has deteriorated/failed.

    Had the opportunity to disconnect the lines from one boat we rigged with it right after it came out.... inner lining was in "pristine condition".
