So I replaced my fuel lines with the rennbay ones which can be found at http://www.rennbay.com/fuel-hose-rep...-855-p-61.html
It's been at the very most 2 years since I've installed them (maybe 18k miles) and I am noticing a little bit of cracking of the lines. I'm sure the inner core is fine, but of course any crack is no bueno.
I can't blame the hoses fault, i stuck the factory rubber heat shield crap (or whatever it is) back on the lines... of course that's not going to do the trick. I just figured these lines would hold up better than what they have...
ugh.
So, now I feel like I've gotta go buy another set and put a good heat shield on them.
Has this happened to anyone besides me???

rennbay now sells another style of fuel lines with compresion fittings, those look promising and have a good price.
Lindsey and speedforce and pauer tuning all sell stainless lines with compression fittings as option or standard and sleeving avaliable.

I need a supply line but I'm still not sure on which option to choose.

I don't know.. my stock lines lasted over 20 years without any problems so I wouldn't say this is normal. I replaced them with the rennbay lines with compression fittings. Is it cracking right at the fitting.. do you have any pics?

i have the pauerman lines- work great. Ive also installed the rennbay lines on a car. Same basic deal. Im sure if you contact Travis he can take care of you.
