'70) one of which has flexible lines at least 30 years old, and I never
had this kind of problem. >>
Well, you are lucky that the other cars didn't have this problem too but I
would chuck those lines as well and buy new because the new gas does eat
rubber of the older formulation........You might have thought your 3 year
lines were just 3 years old but there is no telling how long they were
sitting on someones shelf.......Moss uses Teflon as the inner line on their
flex hose and that is the way to go......
