Not fuel pipe related but here's another example of modern poor quality rubber mouldings , 18 month old cv boot with 3500 miles on, it has been used most days and all through the winter.

i reused one that was a blue plastic material , all the others were perished , i bought 4 replacements but only used 3 so still have one which i will use to replace the latest perished one if anymore fail i will try the thermoplastic ones sold by brickwerks.

The clutch slave boots tend to deteriorate fairly quickly too.
