[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 605310, member: 20098"] Interesting post above, as when I changed mine recently (had been fitted for about 2 years), the cracking was also worse on certain straight sections, rather than on the bends where I'm sure the minimum bend radius was being exceeded. Not anywhere near as bad as above mind! As Sparky has said, all mine were showing cracks externally, rather than the age-related internal cracks on pipes that have been fitted for many years. Although our engine bays are no warmer than a modern-car, maybe they are not using rubber hoses in the engine compartment? And then other classics tend to be less well-sealed than modern cars in terms of the engine compartment, so maybe this helps to keep the air cooler around the fuel line runs. Just thinking out loud really... [/QUOTE]
