Superbugs without the special fuel tube hose catch fire suprisingly fast with alky laced fuel. I had new German black hose let go 2 months after install.
How have you not had to replace your hoses in the last 20 years?

Like your shock tower brace bar. If you triangulate them to the hole in the body center of the tank brace, it totally stops the superbug shake.
