Don't replace unless they are leaking or brittle
Greetings,

I can't see any reason to replace these lines unless they are leaking or causing air to enter your fuel system. The brownish color you see is simply the rubber hose absorbing the elements of the fuel, which is quite raw compared to gasoline. I'd think that less than a years use on new lines would have the same appearance.
